RT Journal Article T1 Optical absorption in paired correlated random lattices A1 Domínguez-Adame, Francisco A1 Maciá, Enrique A1 Sánchez, Angel AB Optical absorption in a random one-dimensional lattice in the presence of paired correlated disorderis studied. The absorption line shape is evaluated by solving the microscopic equations of motionof the F'renkel-exciton problem in the lattice. We find that paired correlation causes the occurrenceof well-defined characteristic lines in the absorption spectra which clearly differ from the case ofunpaired correlation. The behavior of the absorption lines as a function of defect concentration isstudied in detail. We also show how exciton dynamics can be inferred from experimental data byderiving an analytical expression relating the energy and intensity of lines to the model parameters.
