title: Electronic coupling in the excited electronic state of stacked DNA base homodimers.
abstract: The nature of the electronic coupling of stacked nucleic acid bases adenine (A), thymine (T), and cytosine (C), in A-A, T-T, and C-C complexes in their excited states was investigated; a different character of the electronic coupling for the T-T complex was shown.
