Laser excitation of nanometer-sized atomic and molecular clusters offers various
opportunities to explore and control ultrafast many-particle dynamics. Whereas weak laser …

Femtosecond laser pulses have proven to provide valuable insight into the dynamics of
microscopic systems by using pump–probe techniques. Applied to atomic clusters even a …

The unique conditions forming atomic and molecular complexes and clusters using
superfluid helium nanodroplets have opened up an innovative route for studying the …

Silver clusters grown in helium nanodroplets are excited by intense femtosecond laser
pulses resulting in the formation of a hot electron plasma far from equilibrium. The ultrafast …

We have measured the energy and angular-resolved electron emission from medium-sized
silver clusters (N≃ 500–2000) exposed to dual laser pulses of moderate intensity (I∼ 10 13 …

This book is about computational methods to simulate the interaction of strong laser fields
with matter. By definition,“strong” in this context means that the electric field of the laser …

Using the time-dependent density functional theory, we perform quantum calculations of the
electron dynamics in small charged metallic nanoparticles (clusters) of spherical geometry …

There are various ways to analyze the dynamical response of clusters and molecules to
electromagnetic perturbations. Particularly rich information can be obtained from measuring …

Rare-gas or metal clusters are known to absorb laser energy very efficiently. Upon cluster
expansion, the Mie plasma frequency may become equal to the laser frequency. This linear …

In this paper, we present “QDD”(Quantum Dissipative Dynamics), a code package for
simulating the dynamics of electrons and ions in finite electron systems (atoms, molecules …
