We find that the photo-reaction rate depends sensitively on temperature: at temperatures below the crystal-melt transition temperature, photoreaction is collective, requires a critical light intensity and shows an abrupt first order phase transition manifesting nucleation and growth; at temperatures above the transition temperature, photoreaction is independent and follows first order kinetics.
