Publisher's Synopsis
This work focuses on the diminishing number of problems that bar the way to a satisfactory quantum mechanical description of the energetics and dynamics of charge carrier generation, transport and recombination in single component organic molecular crystals. The central theme is that the excited electronic state within the crystal polarizes the molecule upon which it resides and also the electrons of the molecules that are nearest neighbours. Using this theme, the authors compose a scientific symphony, clarifying and rationalizing all the known experimental results.;This text should be of interest to specialists in the fields of solid-state physics (in particular electronics of solids), chemical physics, materials science, organic and physical chemistry, and molecular biophysics, as well as students and post-graduate researchers in those fields.
