Abstract
The reflection spectrum of the OO component of the first singlet transition of tetracene single crystal has been measured as a function of pressure in the range 1 atm–6.5 kbar. A discontinuous change in the Davydov splitting occurs near 3 kbar confirming the existence of a pressure-induced first order phase transition discovered recently by measurements of the magnetic field anisotropy in the single crystal tetracene fluorescence. The pressure-induced spectral red-shifts are larger in the low-pressure (LP) phase than those in the high-pressure (HP) crystal structure. The Davydov splitting of the OO band however increases with increasing pressure at a larger rate of 57 cm −1/kbar for the HP phase as compared with 46 cm −1/kbar for the LP phase.
