In this article, I describe a method to perform molecular dynamics simulation under electronic excitation within a framework of the time‐dependent density functional theory and the Ehrenfest approximation. I present computational procedure and its application to carrier dynamics in carbon nanotubes. The difficulty in dealing with non‐adiabatic transition within a scheme of the density functional theory is also discussed. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
