摘要：
Above-band-gap optical illumination of compressively strained BiFcO(3) induces a transient reversible transformation from a state of coexisting tilted tetragonal-like and rhombohedral-like phases to an untilted tetragonal-like phase. Time-resolved synchrotron x-ray diffraction reveals that the transformation is induced by an ultrafast optically induced lattice expansion that shifts the relative free energies of the tetragonal-like and rhombohedral-like phases. The transformation proceeds at interfaces between regions of the tetragonal-like phase and regions of a mixture of tilted phases, consistent with the motion of a phase boundary. The optically induced transformation demonstrates that there are new optically driven routes towards nanosecond-scale control of phase transformations in ferroelectrics and multiferroics.
