Perovskite-type gold complexis known to show a photoinduced valence transition as well as a pressure-induced valence transition from the mixed-valenceandstate to the single-valencestate under high pressure of 6.5 GPa. Since photoemission spectroscopy permits direct observation of electronic states at the solid surface, it is well suited as a probe to identify electronic changes due to photoinduced phase transitions (PIPT) at the surface. By means of photoemission spectroscopy, we have succeeded to observe the photoinduced valence transition at a surface ofeven under vacuum conditions (0 GPa). This observation shows that PIPT at the surface of transition-metal compounds, which have yet to be explored, can be different from those in the bulk, suggesting new possibilities to develop optical devices using PIPT at a solid surface.
