First-principles calculations of the response of a material to an intense radiation field /

First principles simulations have been performed for the response of Si to high intensity laser pulses, using a new set of computational techniques. The local density approximation is used to treat exchange and correlation elects. Hellmann-Feynman forces are used to calculate the classical motion of...
