Absorption spectra of dipolar Frenkel excitons in two-dimensional lattices with configurational disorder: Long-range interaction and motional narrowing effects

摘要

We present results of numerical simulations of optical absorption line shape of Frenkel excitons in two-dimensional disordered lattices. Disorder is generated by Gaussian randomness in the molecular positions. The intersite interaction is considered to be of dipole origin, including coupling to far neighbors. Results of simulations are compared with those obtained in the frame of the nearest-neighbor approximation, showing remarkable differences in the absorption line shape. The motional narrowing effect is found to be essentially different from that previously reported for the case of diagonal disorder as well as for that produced by randomness in nearest-neighbor hopping integrals.
