| Abstract: | In this paper, we investigate the ultrafast charge dynamics in C60. In particular, the ultrafast charge redistribution after laser excitation is computed as a function of time. We find that the charge relaxation is site-specific. The maximal change is at the top and bottom pentagons. Based on these results, we propose a nanostructure-based computing technology. We argue that it can be controlled both optically and electrically. This may become an emerging frontier. | |
