Non-conservation of excitons in finite molecular chain

Abstract

We have analyzed a linear molecular chain with exciton excitations when the number of excitons is not conserved. The dispersion law depends on two independent variables and it is surfaced in a 3D plot. The same conclusion is valid for the concentrations of excitons and exciton pairs. As it was expected, physical characteristics of the finite chain depend on spatial coordinates. All results are compared to the corresponding results of an infinite chain. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
