Energy transfer from intense laser pulse to dielectrics in time-dependent density functional theory

Energy transfer processes from a high-intensity ultrashort laser pulse to electrons in simple dielectrics, silicon, diamond, and $\alpha$-quartz are theoretically investigated by first-principles calculations based on time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). Dependences on frequency as well as intensity of the laser pulse are examined in detail, making a comparison with the Keldysh theory. Although the Keldysh theory reliably reproduces the main features of the TDDFT calculation, we find some deviations between results by the two theories. The origin of the differences is examined in detail

Crystalline Spinon Basis for RSOS Models

The crystalline spinon basis for the RSOS models associated with $\widehat{sl_2}$ is studied. This basis gives fermionic type character formulas for the branching coefficients of the coset $(\widehat{sl_2})_l \times (\widehat{sl_2})_N/(\widehat{sl_2})_{l+N}$. In addition the path description of the parafermion characters is found as a limit of the spinon description of the string functions.Comment: 16 pages, latex, no figures, Comments are added in the discussion section.
