Iy. Fugol et al., EFFECTS OF NONEQUILIBRIUM STRUCTURE AND T EMPERATURE ON PHOTOINDUCED CHANGES IN OPTICAL-TRANSMISSION OF YBA2CU3O6.35 FILM, Fizika nizkih temperatur, 21(5), 1995, pp. 523-530
Sharp (similar to 25%) photoinduced changes in the optical transmissio
n of the YBa2Cu3O6,35 film, which are non-linearly dependent on the ir
radiation time, are found at low temperatures, T < 125 K, and low ligh
t Rows (similar to 10(13) photon/cm(2) . s). The conditions are studie
d under which the non-linear changes in transmission transform into a
linear law. The analysis of the effect based on correlation between th
e optic transition intensity and the changing electron !hole) concentr
ation in the CuO2 plane permits the conclusion that (i) the degree of
the sample ortho-nonequilibrium is the critical condition for effectiv
e photopumping of the carriers under low-dose irradiation at low tempe
ratures, (ii) the photopumping enhances the relaxation to the equilibr
ium ortho-ordering in the CuOx chains under the condition of Iron-line
ar photoinduced changes, (iii) on photodoping with light flows above t
he metallization threshold, two channels of the electron transition fr
om CuO2 to CuOx are in simultaneous operation - one is for the photoel
ectrons and the other is for the electron from the Fermi level of the
CuO2 plane. At 125 K the heavily pumped film undergoes a structural or
der-disorder transition during which the photopumped electrons (holes)
are released as the temperature rises.
