The J-Band of J-Aggregates as the Egorov Nano-Resonance
Abstract
The well-known narrow and intense optical absorption J-band was discovered experimentally by Jelley and independently Scheibe in 1936. In 1938, Franck and Teller, associating the appearance of the J-band with the formation of molecular J-aggregates, gave a theoretical explanation for the J-band based on the Frenkel exciton model. This explanation has been developed in detail over a long period of time by many authors, including the author of this paper. The main shortcoming of all those explanations is the inability to explain the shape of the dye monomer bands from which J-aggregates are formed. In this mini-review, the author gives an explanation of the J-band as the so-called Egorov nano-resonance discovered in a new theory, quantum–classical mechanics, which includes an explanation of the shape of monomer bands.
