Exciton annihilation on dendrimeric trees

Exciton–exciton annihilation on Cayley tree like dendrimer molecules are investigated via Monte Carlo simulations. Annihilation reaction of the type image is considered to calculate the exciton density decay for multiexciton diffusion on dendrimers. Exciton density decays as a power law with a continuously varying exponent in a linear potential. For the case of realistic nonlinear potential of phenylacetylene dendrimers (Phys. Rev. Lett. 77 (1998) 4656) the excitons accumulate around the free energy minimum and annihilate each other quickly.
