Femtosecond Structural Dynamics in VO2 during an Ultrafast Solid-Solid Phase Transition

Femtosecond x-ray and visible pulses were used to probe structural and electronic dynamics during an optically driven, solid-solid phase transition in VO(2). For high interband electronic excitation (approximately 5 x 10(21) cm(-3)), a subpicosecond transformation into the high-T, rutile phase of th... View More
