Overview
Recent years have witnessed an emergence and very rapid development of a new activity in condensed matter physics. The goal is to achieve controlled transformations of electronic states, or even of whole phases, by external impacts. There are two main directions: the electrostatic effects of very strong electric fields and the effects of supercritical optical pumping; the latest trend is to employ them in combination. These studies have demonstrated an explosive development during last two years.
