Attosecond dynamics of plasmon formation — •Andrey Moskalenko, Yaroslav Pavlyukh, and Jamal Berakdar — Institut für Physik, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Nanotechnikum-Weinberg, Heinrich-Damerow-St. 4, 06120 Halle, Germany

Using ab-initio methods we calculate the frequencies of collective excitations for a variety of finite systems, such as fullerenes and quasi-spherical large molecules [1]. To unravel how this collective dynamics unfolds upon fast excitations, based on our ab-initio results we developed a method, in the spirit of [2], that captures the ultrafast formation of plasmon modes due to the mean-field fluctuations. The results are illustrated for a pump-probe setup using attosecond XUV pulses.
