Outline of Final Research Achievements |
i)Polarization selectivity of light-field-induced charge localization was investigated in an organic metal α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 with a triangular lattice. Dependences of transient reflectivity spectra on polarizations of the 7-fs pump and probe lights indicate that a short-range charge order (CO) is efficiently induced from the metallic phase for the pump polarization perpendicular to the 1010-type CO axis. ii)The time-domain waveform of the terahertz (THz) electric field emitted from the same compound can be significantly modulated depending on incident fluence of femtosecond pulses. As revealed by time-resolved experiments, this modulation arises from the cooperative nature of photoinduced melting of the charge order accompanying quenching of infrared-activity of the intermolecular vibrations which strongly couple with the emission. iii)We have shown that the phonon absorption (for a short-range) and the THz generation (for a long-range) are available for detecting strong field effects.
