Abstract

A diversity of effects leading to deformation of illuminated crystals has been mentioned. A methodical approach to studying the processes of generation of photoinduced deformations in non-centrosymmetric crystals is proposed based on the application of time-resolved X-ray diffraction techniques. Using the experimental measurements with millisecond time resolution, supplemented by numerical calculations, the contributions of piezophotovoltaic and pyroelectric effects, thermal expansion, and optical rectification to the general picture of crystal deformation under illumination are separated. The key parameters of the described deformation contributions are determined for their effective applications.
