Disorder Effect on Energy Transfer

Baumann J. and Fayes M. D. (1986) Excitation Energy Transfer in Disordered Two-Dimensional and Anisotropic Three-Dimensional Systems Effects of Spatial Geometry on Time-Resolved Observables, J. Chem. Phys. 85, 4087-4107. 

A prominent and widely appUed model of electron transfer in organic molecules is Marcus theory. It is thoroughly introduced in Section 4.3.1.1 and hence we concentrate here on its applicabiUty to triplet energy transfer supported by recently reported experimental studies of the temperature dependence of the triplet diffu-sivity and of the effect of disorder on triplet transfer in organic molecules. We would also like to refer the interested reader to a recent overview on experimental and theoretical work concerning a unified description of triplet energy transfer by Kohler and Bassler [30].
