Abstract

The exciton motion on a chain with alternating site energies (model A) or intersite interactions (model B) is studied analytically. Exact solutions for the amplitude propagators in two systems are obtained explicitly, from which the effects of the site-energy mismatch and the hopping disturbance on the diffusing behavior of the moving exciton are displayed. The symmetry properties for the amplitude propagators in the real space are also given.
