The spatial and energetic properties of excitons (i.e. Coulombically bound electron-hole pairs) are very sensitive to the nuclear configuration of the molecule(s) on which they reside. In materials such as those found any many organic electronics (e.g. OLEDs, OPVs) the presence of molecular-level disorder, both static and dynamic, give rise to complex exciton dynamics. Using non-adiabatic mixed quantum-classical simulations we investigate the interplay between molecular disorder and the dynamics of excited electrons in a variety of organic conjugated systems.
