Exciton annihilation on dendrimeric trees

摘要

Exciton-exciton annihilation on Cayley tree like dendrimer molecules are investigated via Monte Carlo simulations. Annihilation reaction of the type A + A -> 0 is considered to calculate the exciton density decay for multiexciton diffusion on dendrimers. Exciton density decays as a power law with a continuously varying exponent in a linear potential. For the case of realistic nonlinear potential of phenylacetylene dendrimers (Phys. Rev. Lett. 77 (1998) 4656) the excitons accumulate around the free energy minimum and annihilate each other quickly. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
