摘要
Optical spectroscopy and topography techniques were used to study the local photoinduced insulator-metal transition (IMT) in a Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3 crystal. Although the change of reflectivity due to the transition exhibits features which are characteristic for the IMT, the spectrum reveals strong modifications as compared to the magnetic-field induced bulk IMT. The different nature of the photoinduced IMT is attributed to the competition of the ferromagnetic metallic region with its antiferromagnetic insulating surrounding, which possibly leads to a filamentary metallic phase. Modifications also include a pronounced broadband electrochromism in the >1.8 eV spectral range. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(99)04916-5].
