Abstract

A quasi-one-dimensional electron lattice system is not simply a highly anisotropic three-dimensional (3-d) system when it is viewed from the standpoint of an excited electronic state and its phonon coupling. In 3-d crystals, one finds almost always an excited electronic state in the form of a Wannier or a Frenkel exciton. The former case is found in typical ionic crystals and semiconductors and the latter in molecular crystals. In quasi-one-dimensional crystals composed of a bundle of linear chains, the most frequently found excited electronic state is a charge transfer exciton. In the charge transfer exciton, an electron in a ground state in one atom is excited to a different atom at a neighbouring site and the radius of the exciton is of this order. In 3-d crystals, a charge transfer exciton is rare. Perhaps the 1s exciton in alkali halides is an example, but its characteristic property does not appear as clearly as in one-dimensional (1-d) crystals.
