• BODY OF ARTICLE

The abstract contains an incorrect reference and should read:We examined the electronic and vibrational dynamics of a model conjugated polymer using a particle-hole treatment for electronic excitations described in the preceding paper [M. N. Kobrak and E. R. Bittner, J. Chem. Phys. 112, 5399 (2000)]. We observe the transition from a delocalized free exciton to a self-trapped exciton, and compare the characteristics of the process of localization to those predicted by existing theories. We find that the reaction path to self-trapping involves a well-defined intermediate state, complicating the process of cooling for the self-trapped exciton. We also find that high energy excitons do not couple strongly to the lattice and therefore do not self-trap.

The caption for Fig. 9 should read:FIG. 9. Distortion-correlation function as a function of time for m_z = 1. Contour lines are assigned with the same magnitudes as in Fig. 3.
