[salmon-user:00300] Maxwell+TDDFT outputs: definition of E_em[a.u./vol] and E_abs[a.u./vol]

[Sruthil Lal S.B.]

Dear Salmon users and developers,

This is related to the Exercise-7: Pulsed-light propagation through a silicon thin film in the Salmon User's manual. The output file  Si_RT_Ac/Si_Ac_yyyyyy.data of the Maxwel+TDDFT calculation of Si lists various quantities  at different time steps as function of spatial position.

The last two columns of the file, that is 16:E_em[a.u./vol] 17:E_abs[a.u./vol], gives E_em and E_abs, which are unfortunately not defined in the header of the file. Are they electromagnetic  energies in the interaction as discussed in Fig. 1 (attached) of the publication K. Yabana et al.: Phys. Rev. B 85, 045134 (2012)? Can you provide a description of these outputs?

Thanks in advance,

-Sruthil Lal SB

Dear Sruthil Lal SB-san,

 

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yes, the 17^th column E_abs is the absorbed energy of the electron system as depicted in that figure.

The 16^th column E_em is the energy of the electromagnetic field, (E^2+B^2)/(8*pi).

 

Sincerely,

Shunsuke
