Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 2158–2161 (2001)Wave Packet Dynamics in a Quasi-One-Dimensional Metal-Halogen Complex Studied by Ultrafast Time-Resolved SpectroscopyReceived 14 June 2000; published in the issue dated 5 March 2001 An ultrafast optical response is studied in a quasi-one-dimensional halogen-bridged mixed-valence metal complex [Pt(en)2][Pt(en)2I2](ClO4)4 with ultrafast time resolution. Wave packet motions both in the ground and self-trapped exciton (STE) states are observed as oscillatory modulations in the time-resolved reflectivity. The wave packet motion on the STE potential surface begins after about 50 fs with respect to the photoexcitation. This delay is attributed to the lattice relaxation from the free exciton state to the STE state. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
