摘要
We report here on the ultrafast photo-switching dynamics of a Fe(II) molecular material [Fe(PM-AzA)(2)(NCS)(2)]. It undergoes a thermal spin-crossover which can be detected by magnetic measurements or by optical reflectivity. We use here femtosecond optical reflectivity to study the ultrafast photo-switching dynamics. Our results indicate that the HS state is reached from the LS state within less than 100 fs, through an intermediate MLCT state. This ultrafast relaxation from the electronic excited state towards the structurally relaxed HS state is followed by a vibrational cooling of the hot HS molecules within approximate to 1 ps timescale.
