Exciton spectra of molecular crystals

Abstract

The present methods of investigation of the exciton band structures in molecular crystals, which are mainly based on the study of the interaction of excitons with isotopic impurities and intramolecular phonons, are considered. A review and an analysis of the wide range of papers on this problem are given. The results obtained so far on the exciton energy spectrum in benzene, naphthalene and anthracene are discussed. © 1974, Walter de Gruyter. All rights reserved.
