S. Koshihara et al., NANOSECOND AND PICOSECOND DYNAMICS OF PHOTOINDUCED PHASE-TRANSITION IN LOW-DIMENSIONAL ORGANIC-CRYSTALS, Synthetic metals, 70(1-3), 1995, pp. 1225-1226
We report the dynamics of a unique photo-induced phenomenon in quasi-o
ne-dimensional organic crystals; i.e. phase transitions triggered by p
hoto-excitation in charge-transfer crystal tetrathiafulvalene-p-chlora
nil (TTF-CA). Domain wall movement in the single crystal has been inve
stigated by means of nanosecond and picosecond time-resolved reflectio
n spectroscopy.
