The spin-crossover compound [(TPA)Fe(TCC)]PF_6 was experimentally investigated using time-resolved optical pump and supercontinuum probe technique. Changes of VIS optical density at thermal equilibrium of a crystal with different high-spin/low-spin fractions are compared to changes recorded picoseconds after femtosecond laser excitation. A white light snapshot of the high-spin state at 180 K is extracted from time-resolved spectra. Our results indicate that the temperature of the electronic state affects the absorption spectra of high- and low-spin states.

The birth of the field of photoinduced phase transitions was strongly influenced by the conceptual viewpoint expressed by Professor Y. Toyozawa on the condensation of relaxed excitons. Since this first period, twenty years ago, this young field has been expanding rapidly along a diversity of directions. Nowadays, it goes hand in hand with the challenges of today's science: emergence, nonlinearity, coherence, far away from equilibrium, for example. The control of the functionality of a material via photoexcited states poses many new fundamental questions. Some of them will be overviewed: (i) the nature of the control parameters and the nature of the relevant collective variables, especially the order parameters, which characterize the evolution of the system, (ii) the difference between photoinduced transformations under continuous light irradiation and those resulting from an ultrashort laser pulse, (iii) the physical mechanisms of ultrafast photoinduced phase transitions from the formation and proliferation of phototransformed entities to the softening of a collective mode.

We present the first time-resolved pump-probe experiment performed at synchrotron SOLEIL at the CRISTAL diffraction beamline. The time-resolved setup will be used in the near future for sub-ns time resolution experiments. We studied spin state switching in a [TPA Fe(III) TCC] PF_6 single crystal as induced by a ≈6 ns laser pulse (1064 nm), by measuring the 3D diffraction volume of the 002 Bragg reflection as a function of time after excitation. The intensity profiles (rocking curves) are found to evolve at two characteristic timescales, namely hundreds of ns and few μs, exhibiting subtle profile changes and peak broadenings. Consistently with previous studies, we interpret these features as due to structural inhomogeneities related to laser-induced deformation wave propagation and heat diffusion, which both start from the absorbing sites.
