We calculate the total wavefunction of the CT exciton by solving an effective two-particle Schrodinger equation for the inhomogeneous dielectric interface. We formulate the magnitude of the CT and construct a minimal model of the CT exciton under the breakdown of inversion symmetry. We demonstrate that both a light hole mass and a hole localization along the normal to the dielectric interface are crucial to yield the CT exciton.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-04-11T06:40:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "charge transfer excitons", "minimal model", "ct exciton", "organic solar cells", "effective two-particle schrodinger equation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
