This paper represents an overview about exciton systems in the molecular nanostructures (ultra thin films and superlattices) and their implications on optical properties, primarily on absorption coefficient, which is given in the form of dielectric permittivity. With utilization of Green's function method, we have calculated dispersion law, spectral weight of exciton states and dielectric permittivity for every type of nanostructures. All obtained results are compared with optical properties in bulk crystals. Dielectric permittivity in all types of nanostructures shows very narrow and discrete dependence of external electromagnetic field frequency, which is a consequence of the expressed quantum effects, very thin thickness in these structures (or at least one dimension confinement) and boundary conditions.

The paper presents a theoretical research of changes of optical properties of various nanofilm molecular crystals which are caused by the presence of two parallel and close borders. We used combined analytical-numerical calculation to find the allowed energy states of excitons and their spatial distribution (per layers) along the axis perpendicular to surface planes. We determined permittivity for the observed models of these ultrathin dielectric films and explored the influence of boundary parameters on the occurrence of discrete (per frequencies) and selective (per layers) absorption. The conditions for occurrence of smallest number of resonant absorption lines have been found and their localization has been defined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
