摘要
We show how the optical absorption properties of organic molecular crystals based on finite molecular units depend on the oligomer length. We calculate the dielectric tensor for the first four linear oligoacenes by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation for the electron-hole Green's function. The exciton binding energy significantly decreases with the molecular size. While strongly bound excitons are present in naphthalene, the carriers are only weakly bound in pentacene. This trend is understood in terms of the increasing dielectric screening and the spatial distribution of the exciton wave function.
