‘Softcrystals’ is the name of a group of new functional materials that can cause changes in luminescence properties and crystal phase-transitions by applying relatively weak external fields such as light irradiation, vapor exposure, and mechanical stimuli. The time-scale of these structural transitions are very widely. In this paper, we will introduce various time-resolved measurement systems using synchrotron radiation as structure-tracking methods for external field-responsive softcrystals.
