Let us proceed to the discussion about the dynamics of the PIPT. In Fig. 5.17a ,
the time profiles of normalized
D R (0.54 eV) are presented. The signal instanta-
neously rises, indicating that the MH domain is formed within the temporal
resolution (180 fs). The decay time of the MH domain is ca. 20 ps. These features
are independent of x ph . Subsequently to the initial rise, the coherent oscillations are
observed similarly to the case of the CDW to MH transition in [Pd(chxn
Þ 2 Br]Br 2 .
D R (0.69 eV) for x ph ¼
To scrutinize the oscillations, we selected
0.005 ph/Pt,
which is plotted in Fig. 5.17b , and extracted the oscillatory component by
subtracting the background rise and decay from
D R , which is plotted in
Fig. 5.17c . The oscillatory component can be reproduced well by the sum of the
two damped oscillators,

measurement system was taken into account as a Gaussian profile. The two
