Excitons dominate the optoelectronic response of many materials. Depending on the time scale and host material, excitons can exhibit free diffusion, phonon-limited diffusion, or polaronic diffusion, and exciton transport often limits the…
Interactions between out-of-plane dipoles in bosonic gases enable the long-range propagation of excitons. The lack of direct control over collective dipolar properties has hitherto limited the degrees of tunability and the microscopic…

In an organic blend the vibrational normal mode excited by exciton splitting is the same as the one coupled to charge hopping. Excess driving force for exciton splitting can therefore aid charge transfer, if vibrational relaxation is slow…
Organic semiconductors exhibit properties of individual molecules and extended crystals simultaneously. The strongly bound excitons they host are typically described in the molecular limit, but excitons can delocalize over many molecules,…
We consider the effect of a magnetic field $B$ on the transport of neutral composite particles, excitons, in weakly disordered 2D systems. In the case of classical transport, when the interference of different paths is neglected, the…
