Outline of Final Research Achievements

Employing first-principles calculations based on time-dependent density functional theory, we have investigated various optical phenomena that take place in dielectrics and semi-conductors under an irradiation of a high-intensity ultrashort pulsed light. It has been shown that the optical properties of matters change in the time-scale less than a period of the pulsed light due to the dynamical Franz-Keldysh effect. We elucidated the phenomena under the collaboration with attosecond experimental groups. Using the method, we have also explored high harmonic generations in solids and the mechanism of energy transfer from the pulsed light to electrons in the matter. The program codes developed in these studies have been made open to the public as an open source software, SALMON, and is downloadable at the website, https://salmon-tddft.jp.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究で発展させた理論と計算法を総集したものとして、先端の光科学研究で観測される多様な現象を経験的なパラメータを用いることなく記述することができる、電磁気学と量子力学を結びつけた第一原理計算プログラムをSALMONを構築し、ウェブサイトで公開した。このソフトウェアを用いると、アト秒の時間解像度、ナノメートル以下の空間解像度で、高強度な光と物質の相互作用を調べることが可能であることから、アト秒科学や近接場光励起、プラズモニクス、非熱レーザー加工などの光科学の多様な発展に重要な役割を果たすと期待される。
