Preferred Label : exciton;
IUPAC definition : In some applications it is useful to consider electronic excitation as if a quasi-particle,
capable of migrating, were involved. This is termed an exciton. In organic materials
two models are used: the band or wave model (low temperature, high crystalline order)
and the hopping model (higher temperature, low crystalline order or amorphous state).
Energy transfer in the hopping limit is identical with energy migration.;
