摘要
A model Hamiltonian is proposed for systems of poly-phenylene-vinylene (PPV) type, which describes excitation energy transfer (EET) in the presence of torsional and bond-length-alternation coordinates that couple neighboring fragments. This model is employed to describe coherent EET, starting from a partially delocalized exciton state which is initially separated from the rest of the chain by a defect due to a pronounced torsional displacement at one of the inter-fragment junctions. EET is found to be driven by the restoring force of the torsions towards the planar geometry. Quantum dynamical calculations are carried out for a minimal five-site model, using the multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree (MCTDH) method.
