Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research project, we aimed to obtain ultrafast real-space imaging of atomic ensembles which provides the crucial information in dynamical mechanisms of photoinduced phase transitions in solids. We adopted following three different approaches: ①solving the inverse problem for the time evolution of diffraction data using state-of-art theoretical methods, ②establishing the time-resolved electron microscopic method applicable to completely reversible processes, ③ constructing an electron microscope with fs-temporal resolution and atomic-level resolution and with a single-shot imaging capability. Developing and using these methods, we have provided far deeper insight into the physics in the ultrafast dynamics of lattice systems in laser-induced solid-to-liquid phase transformation of metals, in photoinduced transformations in charge-density-wave materials, and in initial atomic dynamics in phase-change materials. Also, the mechanism of ultrafast structural changes in warm-dense matters has been elucidated unambiguously. Furthermore, time-resolved imaging of hot electrons in energy- and momentum spaces has achieved for the first time using time-and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The achievement in the present project has greatly deepened our understanding of the ultrafast cooperative interactions of lattice systems in photoinduced phase transitions.
