Tetracene nanocrystals prepared by the reprecipitation method are investigated using magnetophotoluminescence, steady-state optical absorption and emission spectroscopies. The steady-state absorption spectra indicate that the tetracene nanoparticles possess a crystalline structure. The magnetic field dependence of photoluminescence for tetracene nanoparticles has a range almost 40 times smaller than that for tetracene macrocrystals. This result is interpreted within the framework of a theoretical model based on the solution of the diffusion equation for a restricted spherical volume. The calculations show that this decrease in magnetic field dependences of photoluminescence can be sensitive to the size of tetracene crystals. According to the theoretical model, the triplet-triplet annihilation rate increases in nanostructured tetracene.

Нанокристаллы тетрацена, полученные методом переосаждения, исследованы с использованием методов стационарного оптического поглощения и люминесценции, а также методом магниточувствительной фотолюминесценции. Спектры стационарного поглощения указывают на то, что наночастицы тетрацена обладают кристаллической структурой. Зависимость фотолюминесценции от магнитного поля для наночастиц тетрацена почти в 40 раз слабее, чем для макрокристаллов тетрацена. Этот результат интерпретируется в рамках теоретической модели, основанной на решении уравнения диффузии для ограниченного сферического объема. Расчеты зависимости фотолюминесценции от магнитного поля на основе теоретической модели показывают, что уменьшение магнитного эффекта зависит от размера сферического объема. Согласно теоретической модели, это уменьшение может быть связано с увеличением скорости триплет-триплетной аннигиляции в ограниченном нанообъеме.
