Light-induced structural transformations in a single gallium nanoparticulate

Abstract

In a single gallium nanoparticulate, self-assembled (from an atomic beam) in a nano-aperture at the tip of a tapered optical fiber, we have observed evidence for a sequence of reversible light-induced transformations between five different structural phases (gamma - epsilon - delta - beta - liquid), stimulated by optical excitation at nanowatt power levels.
