Complex Exciton Dynamics in Materials: a First-Principles Computational Approach
Understanding the energetics and dynamics of excited states formed by light-matter interactions is essential for applications across optoelectronics and photophysics. In systems of reduced dimensionality, strongly-bound excitons serve as the main energy carriers, with long diffusion and relaxation lifetimes. As exciton dynamics are coupled to optical selection rules that stem from the atomic structure, enhanced exciton transport efficiency can be achieved through local structural modifications, such as atomic impurities and interface design, as well as crystal fluctuations. Yet current theories lack a predictive description of the underlying interactions due to such structural…
