Abstract
Excitons with nonzero momenta and their energy dependence are important for time dependent phenomena such as transport properties or the coupling to external or internal fields, for example in electron energy loss spectroscopy. In this paper we calculate the momentum dependent energy landscape of excitons in rubrene single crystals. We show that singlet excitons exhibit a dispersion that is qualitatively similar to the electronic valence and conduction bands, namely a relatively large bandwidth along $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Gamma}}$--Y and much flatter bands along $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Gamma}}$--X and $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Gamma}}$--Z. However, the absolute value of the bandwidths is significantly weaker than for both electronic bands. Triplet excitons, on the other hand, show much less dispersion and the exciton bands are much flatter than their singlet counterparts.
