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...

description 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 absorption and hard x-ray diffraction. We also report on the switching behavior of VO2 nanoparticles embedded in Silica or in optical fibers, a new route to incorporate complex, photo-active materials into technologically viable environments. ©2006 The Physical Society of Japan.
