摘要:
我们研究了一种宽禁带材料的超快电子动力学,该材料在强泵浦脉冲激发下具有内带、价带和导带,通过延迟的阿秒极紫外探测脉冲进行监测。采用半导体布洛赫方程(SBEs)和时间依赖密度泛函理论(TDDFT)进行互补计算和比较。TDDFT用于研究有限大小系统,而SBEs用于研究具有周期边界条件的固体,计算晶体动量依赖的能量带和能带间耦合,采用平行运输结构规范。由此得到的强场电子动力学用于预测阿秒瞬态吸收光谱(ATAS)信号,作为探测脉冲频率和泵浦-探测脉冲间隔函数的函数。两种模拟协议都捕捉到ATAS信号中的时间延迟依赖的光谱特征。我们的TDDFT和SBE基于结果之间的非常良好的一致性使我们能够将原生TDDFT模拟解释为SBEs的能带间耦合,验证了我们的SBE基于模型并支持其结论。
英文摘要:
We investigate the ultrafast electron dynamics of a model of a wide-bandgap material with inner, valence, and conduction bands excited by an intense few-femtosecond pump and monitored by a delayed attosecond extreme-ultraviolet probe pulse. Complementary computational methods are utilized and compared, based on the semiconductor Bloch equations (SBEs) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). TDDFT is employed to study a finite-size system, while the SBEs are utilized to investigate the corresponding solid with periodic boundary conditions imposed, with the crystal-momentum-dependent energy bands and interband couplings calculated in the parallel-transport structure gauge. The resulting strong-field electron dynamics are employed to predict experimentally accessible attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (ATAS) signals as a function of the probe-pulse frequency and pump-probe interpulse delay. Both simulation protocols similarly capture the time-delay-dependent spectral features in the ATAS signals. The very good agreement between our TDDFT and SBE-based results allows us to interpret the ab-initio TDDFT simulations in terms of SBEs' interband couplings, validating our SBE-based model and corroborating its conclusions.
