Microscopic Quantum-Mechanical Calculations of the Energy Transfer Rate

MICROSCOPIC QUANTUM-MECHANICAL CALCULATIONS OF THE ENERGY TRANSFER RATE 

Typically the broadening of the Wannier-Mott exciton resonance (several meV) is negligible compared to the width of the absorption spectrum of organics (several hundred meV). Thus, one may consider the excited state in a semiconductor to be discrete with energy Kujd- The excited state Iff) of the semiconductor is an electron-hole pair described by the two-particle envelope function (r r/A assumed to be normalized to unity  

The Hamiltonian of the Coulomb interaction between the semiconductor and the organics is given by eqns (B.4), (B.5)
