Abstract
Density matrix equations for ultrafast electron-hole dynamics in solid target under intense x-rays are presented. The theory is an extension of the usual optical Bloch equations to the case of intense x-ray free-electron lasers, where the creation of multiple core holes and the associated orbital relaxation dynamics are additionally incorporated through the cluster model combined with the time-dependent unrestricted Hartree–Fock approximation. Numerical examples are demonstrated for K-edge excitation of sodium by a femtosecond x-ray pulse; nonlinear dynamics of absorption, orbital energy shifts and induced electric polarization are discussed.
