Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The fellowship would provide me with the opportunity to lead an investigation into the fundamental dynamics of clusters in intense laser fields, an important, newly emerging, area in atomic, molecular and optical physics. I will implement a time-dependent density functional (TDDF) approach capable of running on parallel machines such as the Cray T3E to study quantum non-adiabatic cluster dynamic. Scientific visualization techniques will be used to analyze both the ionic and electronic dynamics. The TDDF method, in which the density of an interacting system is obtained from the density of an auxiliary system of non interacting particles moving in an effective local single particle potential, provides the most detailed, practical and feasible ab initio approach for tackling many-body problems but its full potential in cluster dynamics has yet to be exploited. This method has been chosen in preference to other more limited theoretical approaches.
