Theoretical study of the ultrashort dynamics in graphene after fs-laser excitation
We report on the calculation of the full dynamics of graphene after ultrafast laser excitation using ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations. Our calculations show a biexponential decay of the (100) and (110) Bragg peaks in time, similar to experimental results. Furthermore, we calculate the time-e...

| Summary: | We report on the calculation of the full dynamics of graphene after ultrafast laser excitation using ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations. Our calculations show a biexponential decay of the (100) and (110) Bragg peaks in time, similar to experimental results. Furthermore, we calculate the time-evolution of the phonon energies averaged over sets of phonons, chosen by their phonon frequencies. Our results suggest that the fast decay time can be accounted by phonon-phonon interactions rather than the generation of SCOPs. The slower decay time is governed by the equilibration of the system with low frequency phonon modes. |
