CAREER: Time-Dependent Laser-Matter Interactions

杰弗里·克劳斯是由理论和计算化学项目的职业资助者支持的，该项目研究固态量子井结构和气相里德堡原子中的电子动力学控制。他将使用全量子计算和有限但非均匀的网格。他还将在本科化学课程中融入基于计算机的培训环境，并开发模拟科学的新的跨学科课程。这项拨款的研究部分涉及依赖时间的激光与物质的相互作用。强激光、超快激光在物质的探测和控制中的应用对半导体中的带电载流子过程非常重要。这项研究将设计整形激光脉冲来控制固体中的动力学和辐射发射。这笔资助的教育部分包括开发课程网站、多媒体演示文稿和小组活动，以使本科生的化学讲座更加活跃。

Jeffrey Krause is supported by a CAREER Grant from the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Program to study the control of electron dynamics in solid-state quantum well structures and gas-phase Rydberg atoms. He will employ full quantum calculations and finite but non-uniform grids. He will also incorporate a computer-based training environment in undergraduate chemistry courses and develop a new interdisciplinary curriculum in simulation science.The research component of this grant concerns time-dependent, laser-matter interactions. The application of intense, ultrafast lasers to the interrogation and control of matter is of importance to charged carrier processes in semiconductors. This research will design shaped laser pulses to control the dynamics and radiative emission in the solid state. The educational component of this grant consists of development of course web sites, multimedia presentations, and group activities to make undergraduate chemistry lectures more active.
