We review recent progress of theoretical studies for the photoinduced phase tran- sitions (PIPTs) to clarify what the PIPTs are. There are two types of the PIPTs: (a) global change via optically excited states and (b) new material phase creation in optically excited states. First, concerning (a), photoinduced structural phase transitions via excited electronic states are discussed using a minimal one-dimensional model composed of localized electrons and lattices. We show that the global structural change by photoexcitation only at a single site is possible under the adiabatic or diabatic approximation. This dynamics of the domain bound- aries (domain walls) is called the “photoinduced domino process,” which is the photoinduced nucleation in nonequilibrium first-order phase transition. Second, concerning (b), we discuss quantum orders of electron-hole (e-h) systems, which are optically excited states of insulators consisting of many electrons and holes in two bands. In particular, the “exciton Mott transi- tion,” i.e., the “from-insulator-to-metal” transition of the e-h systems as the particle density increases is introduced. We stress that this transition depends strongly on dimensionality of the system.

Stationary states of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) found analytically in previous work are extended into 2 and 3 dimensions by the simplest possible ansatz: namely, it is assumed that the direct product of one dimensional solutions for each dimension will yield a stationary state. The solutions considered mimic the dynamics of a repulsive Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a trap of high aspect ratio. This assumption of separability, as established by direct numerical integration of the NLSE via variable step 4th order Runge-Kutta using a pseudo spectral basis, is found to work well for both ground and excited states for box transverse confinement, and for either box or periodic boundary conditions along the longest trap axis. Addition of white noise at t = 0, followed by similar numerical propagation in either 2 or 3 dimensions, is found to lead to instability once the transverse confining dimension are greater than approximately 6 healing lengths. Such instabilites eventually manifest themselves as vortices fathered by the well known snake instability of the NLSE solitons in dimensionalities higher than 1. The dynamics of interacting solitons may become chaotic as the solitons themselves become unstable in the presence of noise.

Polarization characteristics of luminescence in one-dimensional crystal piperidinium tribromoplumbate has been investigated to clarify the relaxed photo-excited states of this system. It has been observed that the emission band with non-exponential decay is almost depolarized at 10 K but becomes polarized drastically parallel to the chain as temerature is raised above 15 K. This indicates that anisotropy of the initial state of luminescence retrieved thermally. Electron spin resonance (ESR) technique has been applied to identify photo-induced defects. A hole center formed by several bromine ions has been observed. The initial state of this emission band is discussed from the retrieved anisotropy and the ESR measurements.
