Coherent memory functions for finite systems: Hexagonal photosynthetic unit

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Coherent memory functions entering the Generalized Master Equation are presented for a hexagonal model of a photosynthetic unit. Influence of an energy heterogeneity and possible superstructure on an exciton transfer in an antenna system as well as to a reaction center is investigated.
