Floquet Nonadiabatic Mixed Quantum-Classical Dynamics in Laser-Dressed Solid Systems

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the Floquet Ehrenfest and Floquet surface hopping approaches to study the nonadiabatic dynamics in the laser-dressed solid systems. We demonstrate that these two approaches can be formulated in both real and reciprocal spaces. Using these approaches, we are able to simulate the interaction between electronic carriers and phonons under periodic drivings, such as strong light-matter interactions. Employing the Holstein and Peierls models, we show that the strong light-matter interactions can effectively modulate the dynamics of electronic population and mobility. Notably, our study demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of modeling low-momentum carriers' interactions with phonons using a truncated reciprocal-space basis, an approach impractical in real-space frameworks. Moreover, we reveal that even with significant truncation, carrier populations derived from surface hopping maintain greater accuracy compared to those obtained via meanfield dynamics. These results underscore the potential of our proposed methods in advancing the understanding of carrier-phonon interactions in various laser-dressed materials.
