Abstract

A Holstein model is introduced for PTCDA stacks forming a one-dimensional exciton system and analyzed using Merrifield's variational method. The bandwidth and hopping integral V = 0.15 eV are obtained by comparing the absorption, emission, and fluorescence excitation of PTCDA films to solution spectra.
