Designed to help those new to this area gain proficiency in this field, experts will also find the book useful in developing a deeper understanding of the subject. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe starting point of the book is the standard microscopic definition of molecular Hamiltonians presented in commonly accepted modern quantum mechanical notations. Major assumptions and approximations involved in constructing Frenkel-type exciton Hamiltonians, which are well established, but are often hidden under arcane notations and approximations of old publications, are presented in detail. This will help quantum chemists understand the major assumptions involved in the definition of commonly used exciton models. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRate theories of exciton dynamics, such as Förster and Dexter theories and their modern generalizations, are presented in a unified and detailed manner. In addition, important aspects that are often neglected, such as local field effect and the role of fluctuating environments, are discussed. Various quantum dynamics methods allowing coherent dynamics of excitons are presented in a systematic manner in the context of quantum master equations or path integral formalisms. The author also provides a detailed theoretical explanation for the major spectroscopic techniques probing exciton dynamics, including modern two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy, with a critical assessment of the implications of these spectroscopic measurements. Finally, the book includes a brief overview of major applications including an explanation of organic photovoltaic materials and natural light harvesting complexes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMicroscopic derivation of Frenkel exciton-bath Hamiltonian\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLinear spectroscopy of molecular excitons\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExciton transfer rates and hopping dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eQuantum dynamics of molecular excitons\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExcitons and quantum light\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTime-resolved nonlinear spectroscopy of excitons\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamples and applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSummary and outlook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix A Useful mathematical identities and solutions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Materials science [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Materials science\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Materials%20science%20%5BTGM%5D%22\"\u003eTGM\u003c\/a\u003e], Nanotechnology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Nanotechnology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Nanotechnology%20%5BTBN%5D%22\"\u003eTBN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Elsevier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46649164661016,"sku":"9780081023358","price":132.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780081023358_b50154c6-0176-441b-a310-db0b6deab0b5.jpg?v=1695006416","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/dynamics-of-molecular-excitons-paperback-9780081023358","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
