International Conference on

"Photoinduced Phase Transitions, their Dynamics and Precursor"

Second Circular

 


November 14-16,2001

at Epochal Tsukuba

 

    

     In the research field of the solid state optics, problems related with photoinduced phase transitions have become matters of considerable interest in recent years. Here in Japan, the governmental research project on gPhotoinduced Phase Transitions and their Dynamicsh has started from 1999. As the end of this project, the abovementioned international conference is to be held, under the support of this governmental project.

     In this conference, we will extend hot discussions on the following problems, from both experimental and theoretical view points.

    

Scope of the conference

E    Photoinduced structural phase transitions, their dynamics and precursor phenomena.

E    Photoinduced magnetic or electronic phase transitions and their dynamics.

E    High density excitons.

E    Photo-polymerization in solids.

E    Strongly collective and nonlinear phenomena in photoexcited states.
