Hybrid inorganic/organic systems form a novel class of composite materials with interesting optoelectronic properties. Due to the Coulomb interaction, Wannier-exciton like states in an inorganic semiconductor nanostructure are coupled to Frenkel excitons occurring in organic materials. The considered structure consists of a thin, highly ordered molecular film adsorbed on a semiconductor quantum well. Based on a density matrix theory, we study the Förster-type non-radiative excitation transfer across the hybrid interface. The microscopic input parameters are taken from ab initio caculations for ladder-type quarterphenyl (L4P) molecules on the ZnO(1010) surface [1]. As a consequence of microscopic momentum selection rules, the coupling strength between the two constituents varies for different coverage densities of the semiconductor surface with molecules.Our findings can be used for optimizing the energy transfer efficiency by modifying the geometry of the hybrid structure.
