Abstract
A theory of the coefficient of diffusion of an exciton in molecular crystals is elaborated, based on the conception of the exciton as the excited state of the molecule of a crystal propagating through the crystal by chance transition from one molecule to another. The theoretical results are compared with the experimental data for an anthracene crystal.
