We numerically investigated the process of exciton transfer in thylakoid membranes. Recent knowledge of the structure and shape of these membranes was used to formulate four prototypes for which the numerical simulations were carried out. The intensity of the solar spectrum was chosen so as to accou

โฆ Synopsis
Using the continuous time random walks, the decay probability of an excitation at an impurity site is calculated numerically employing a general fractal distribution function in a three-dimensional disordered lattice. Results agree well with the previously calculated theoretical probabilities and also with experimental results.

Numerical experiments were carried out to determine the timewise self-consistency of different physical processes involved in the energy transfer in green plant photosynthecc units. A 6 X 6 X 6 array of chlorophyll-a with cubic lattice constants a = b = c = 20 A was chosen as a model of the thylakoi
