Ultra-broadband femtosecond measurements of the photo-induced phase transition in VO2: From the mid-IR to the hard x-rays

We review our work on the photo-induced insulator-metal transition in the strongly-correlated, spin-Peierls compound VO2. Our pump-probe experiments exploit the full spectral range of modern femtosecond science, combining time-resolved mid-IR and visible techniques with ultrafast soft x-ray absorpti...
