| Research Abstract |
Photoexcited dynamics of the spin density-wave (SDW) state in a linear-chain compound bis-(tetramethyl-tetraselenafulvalene)hexafluorophosphate, (TMTSF)_2PF_6, is investigated by optical pump and terahertz probe experiments. After the ultrashort laser-pulse excitation, a sudden closing followed by a recovery of the SDW gap is clearly observed in the far-infrared spectrum. The recovery time is found to diverge toward the phase-transition temperature, T_<SDW>, while the gap remains open at T_<SDW>. The observed critical slowing down behavior is interpreted in terms of fluctuation which enlarges near the phase transition temperature.
