[17a-F202-6] Photoinduced valence change of EuNi2(Si0.21Ge0.79)2 observed by time-resolved XAS
Keywords:time-resolved, x-ray absorption spectroscopy, 4f electrons
4f electron systems have characteristic valence fluctuations in time and space, and valence transitions occur due to external stimuli such as temperature, pressure, and magnetic fields. We used a time-resolved x-ray absorption spectroscopy instrument in BL07LSU, SPring-8, and observed photoinduced electronic structure changes of EuNi2(Si0.21Ge0.79)2 by time-resolved measurements. By performing pump-probe techniques using Ti:sapphire laser (800 nm) as a pump light and synchrotron x-rays as a probe light, we observed photoinduced valence changes.
