PIPT7

Since the first international conference on photoinduced phase transitions (PIPT) in 2001, organized by Prof. Keiichiro Nasu at Tsukuba, Japan, this fascinating and challenging field has flourished tremendously. During the past 19 years, the international research community has discovered intriguing photoinduced cooperative phenomena in condensed matter and unveiled novel microscopic dynamics on extremely short time scales using a suite of novel tools, such as time-resolved optical/THz spectroscopy, X-ray and electron diffraction, and photoemission spectroscopy, while also witnessing new developments in theories and material synthesis.
