We report a transport study of nonequilibrium quasi-particles in a high-transition-
temperature cuprate superconductor using the transient grating technique. Low-intensity …

Insulator-to-metal phase transition (PT) was produced by femtosecond light radiation in VO 2
thin films deposited on substrates with different thermal conductivities. Optical pump-probe …

This chapter reviews photophysical processes and photochemical reactions studied by the
transient grating (TG) method mainly from the thermal energy in the solution phase. The TG …

Interfacial hole transfer between n-SrTiO3 and OH–was investigated by surface sensitive
transient optical spectroscopy of an in situ photoelectrochemical cell during water oxidation …

A light-induced insulator-to-metal ultrafast phase transition (PT) was observed in VO 2 thin
films deposited on single-crystal sapphire and amorphous glass substrates. The PT and …

Samples such as thin polymeric films are analyzed using optically induced phonons by
excitation of the sample using radiation preferably absorbed by the sample and probe …

Photocarrier diffusion in Si at ambient temperature in the carrier density range of 4× 10 17 to
4× 10 19 cm− 3 has been characterized by the transient grating technique. Measurements …

The light-induced insulator-to-metal phase transition was investigated by femtosecond pump-
probe techniques in nanocrystalline VO 2 films. The size of VO 2 nanoparticles and the VO 2 …

This article applies four-wave mixing (FWM) spectroscopy, a third-order nonlinear optical
spectroscopic technique which is not intrinsically surface-or interface-sensitive, to study …
