Simulation of high-order harmonic generation in ZnO — •Christian Hünecke, Ivan Gonoskov, Martin Richter, and Stefanie Gräfe — Institute for Physical Chemistry, Friedrich-Schiller University Jena, Germany

Pump-probe experiments shed some light on the involvement of optical phonons in the generation of high-harmonic radiation in zinc oxide [1]. Two approaches for the theoretical description of the HHG spectra are employed. At first the time-dependent Schroedinger equation is solved numerically using a Coulomb-type potential with periodic boundary conditions. The calculated harmonic spectra are compared with the results based on the real-time real-space time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) obtained using the software-package "Octopus" [2]. In the TDDFT scheme the influence of a phonon is analyzed by parametrically shifting the position of the nuclei in the lattice structure of ZnO.
