Abstract
We studied the photoinduced ionic to neutral phase transition in tetrathiafulvalene-p-chloranil (TTF-CA) using time-resolved infrared vibrational spectroscopy. By monitoring the charge sensitive b1uυ 10 band of CA after photoexcitation by a 1.55 eV pulse, we found that the photoinduced N-phase has the same charge of the N-phase in thermal equilibrium and there is no charge variation during the photoinduced phase transition. We also found that the photoinduced N-phase grows through at least two steps over 300 ps.
