31. Photoinduced changes in σ 1 (ω) and ε 1 (ω) [Δ σ 1 (ω) and Δ ε 1 (ω)] should be calculated from the THz time profile to determine changes in the electronic properties. However, it is difficult to obtain Δ σ 1 (ω) and Δ ε 1 (ω) because the phase shift in the THz time profile resulting from the PIMT is very small. This small photoinduced phase shift is attributable to the photoinduced HT state formed on the surface layer of thickness approximately 1 μ m of the sample, reflecting the large difference between the penetration depth of the pump light (approximately 1.1 μ m) and that of the THz probe (the sample thickness of 50 μ m). Therefore, we use the absorption change Δ OD to describe the changes in the electronic properties. As described later, Δ σ 1 (ω) at 20 K can be calculated using the multilayer model for the result at 20 K, as shown in the inset of Fig..

34. The Maxwell-Garnett equation should be applicable to the low-density guest particles in the host material. Therefore, ε I and ε M are exchanged for the high-density metallic region I although the original equation is valid for the low-density region III. For the intermediate region II, Hanai's equation is used.
