We perform time-resolved exact diagonalization of the Hubbard model with time dependent hoppings on small clusters of up to $12$ sites. Here, the time dependence originates from a classic electromagnetic pulse, which mimics the impact of a photon. We investigate the behavior of the double occupation and spectral function after the pulse for different cluster geometries and on-site potentials. We find impact ionization in all studied geometries except for one-dimensional chains. Adding next…

Impact ionization and multiple photon absorption in the two-dimensional photoexcited Hubbard model

We study the non-equilibrium response of a 4x3 Hubbard model at U=8 under the influence of a short electric field pulse, with the main focus on multiple photon excitations and on the change of double

Adaptive Time Propagation for Time-dependent Schrödinger equations

It is found that splitting methods are more efficient when the Hamiltonian naturally suggests a separation into kinetic and potential part, whereas Magnus-type integrators excel when the structure of the problem only allows to advance the time variable separately.

Electron-light interaction in nonequilibrium: exact diagonalization for time-dependent Hubbard Hamiltonians

• Physics
European physical journal plus

The method is applied to calculate time evolution of double occupation and nonequilibrium spectral function of a photo-excited Mott-insulator and the results show that not only the double occupation increases due to creation of electron-hole pairs but also the Mott gap becomes partially filled.

Time-dependent spectral properties of a photoexcited one-dimensional ionic Hubbard model: an exact diagonalization study

Motivated by the recent progress in time-resolved nonequilibrium spectroscopy in condensed matter, we study an optically excited one-dimensional ionic Hubbard model by exact diagonalization. The

Optimizing the role of impact ionization in conventional insulators

This work studies the case of hybridization of localized orbitals with more dispersive bands near the Fermi level, where the generated multiple carriers, which ultimately decay to the edges of the dispersion bands by means of IA processes, acquire lighter mass and this could allow their more efficient separation before recombination.
