Light-Driven Ordering: Theory -- Domain Charge Structure of Amorphous Semiconductor -- Light-Driven Spatial Ordering in Random Media -- Light-Driven Orientational Ordering in Random Media -- Self-Organization in Ge-Doped Silica Fibers and Second Harmonic Generation -- Optical Motor: Toward the Model of Life Emerging on Earth -- Electron Acceleration by Petawatt Light Pulses -- Light-Driven Temporal Self-Organization -- Light-Driven Bistability of Molecular Crystals -- Charge Transfer Excitons in Soft Matter.

This book deals with influencing the properties of solids by light-driven electron transport. The theoretical basis of these effects, light-driven ordering and self-organisation, as well as optical motors are presented. With light as a tool, new ways to produce materials are opened.
