Optical lineshapes for dimers of polymethine dyes: dozy-chaos theory of quantum transitions and Frenkel exciton effect

Abstract

The optical absorption lineshapes for dimers of polymethine dyes, as well as the lineshapes in the monomer–dimer concentration equilibria, are explained by taking into account the Frenkel exciton effect in the dozy-chaos theory of quantum transitions. The possible interpretations of the results in the dozy-chaos theory on a qualitative level are given. Attention is drawn to the universal nature of dozy chaos.
