Using femtosecond pump and probe spectroscopy and ab-initio calculations, we show that upon photoexcitation of dimers of tetramethyl-tetrathiafulvalene cations, excess vibronic energy is deposited predominantly into coherent phonons that lead to photoinduced phase transitions in linear chains of these materials.

Abstract

Using femtosecond pump and probe spectroscopy and ab-initio calculations, we show that upon photoexcitation of dimers of tetramethyl-tetrathiafulvalene cations, excess vibronic energy is deposited predominantly into coherent phonons that lead to photoinduced phase transitions in linear chains of these materials.
