How do you visualise the correlation between two particles? One option is to fix one of them at a specific region of space and look at the distribution of the other one. This is the principle behind a new method for visualising excitonic correlation just presented in a paper in ChemPhotoChem: Visualisation of Electronic Excited‐State Correlation in Real Space. First, we have to interpret the excited state within the electron-hole picture as explained previously and compute the two-body electron-hole distribution. Читать дальше...
