Abstract

In this work, the first-principles computational scheme of electron-ion dynamics based on the time-dependent density functional theory is presented as a tool to study dynamical phenomena induced by light. Two applications of computations for photo-induced phenomena are shown. The one is structural change induced by intense and short laser shot with a purpose to simulate experiments using the femtosecond laser. The other is photo-excitation and subsequent carrier splitting into electrons and holes, which is a key process needed in photovoltaic materials.
