By means of first principles calculations, we studied the possibility of manipulating structural properties of different materials via excitation with intense femtosecond laser or extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses. For silicon and boron-nitride nanotubes, we performed ab initio molecular dynamics simulations using the code CHIVES, developed in our group, to describe their laser-induced structural dynamics. For both materials, we determined the damage thresholds. We also investigated the structural response of magnesium and copper to ultrashort XUV excitation. For this purpose, we performed frozen-phonon calculations based on all-electron density functional theory and allowed the possibility of core-hole excitation. We found that Cu undergoes bond hardening and Mg bond softening upon creation of core holes and hot electrons, where we defined the bond strength by the vibrational frequencies.
