Non-thermal lattice dynamics in α-quartz induced by femtosecond laser pulses: An ab initio study

Laser-patterning techniques are typically based on local-heating phenomena, whereas recently developed short-pulse lasers operating on the order of femtoseconds may also induce non-thermal processes in materials. As it is difficult to study non-thermal processes experimentally, ab initio simulations...
