43. The hopping time (Equation presented) is computed according to (Equation presented), where (Equation presented) is the distance between the molecular units and (Equation presented) corresponds to the exciton diffusion coefficient. (Equation presented) has been assumed to be 5 Å and (Equation presented) is (Equation presented) taken from Ref. [26].
