Photoinduced Phase Transition: A Tool for Generating a Hidden State of Matter
Abstract
For many years, photoinduced phase transition (PIPT) phenomena have been investigated to generate a hidden state of matter by means of optically excited states and achieve a ultrafast optical switching on a large scale. Strategies to explore PITP materials are presented along with the early history of PIPT studies.
