Exciton migration dynamics in a dendritic molecular aggregate
We investigate exciton migration dynamics in two types of dendritic molecular aggregate models, i.e., Bethe lattice, with mutually distinct intermolecular interaction between adjacent linear legs at the branching points. Each monomer molecule is assumed to be a dipole unit (a two-state model) coupled with each other by the dipole-dipole interaction. The generation of one exciton in the aggregates by the incident laser field and its subsequent dynamical behavior are investigated in a numerically exact manner. The two types of models show different exciton energy structures and distribution. It is also found that relaxation effects in the exciton states are essential for exciton migration from the periphery to the core.
