Product Description

Together with a theoretical description of the classical conceptual approach to exciton theory, this text also discusses the nonlinear femtosecond spectroscopy which is often used for investigations. A large part of the text demonstrates the excitonic effects in a multitude of photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes and how one can understand these properties on the basis of the exciton concept.

Review
"? this is a unique book ? The price is quite reasonable, and the book should not only be on the shelves of institutional libraries, but also in many private libraries and offices, where it will serve as a standard reference work for many years to come." Photosynthesis Research, 2000
