Orientation dependence of energy absorption and relaxation dynamics of ${\text{C}}_{60}$ in fs-laser pulses: How round is ${\text{C}}_{60}$?

M. Fischer, J. Handt, G. Seifert +1

By means of non-adiabatic quantum molecular dynamics it is shown, that the amount of energy deposited into ${\text{C}}_{60}$ by a short laser field strongly depends on the molecular…
