This paper describes the effects of electronic nonequilibrium in a simulation of ultrafast laser irradiation of materials. The simulation scheme based on tight-binding molecular dynamics, in which the electronic populations are traced with a combined Monte Carlo and Boltzmann equation, enables the modeling of nonequilibrium, nonthermal, and nonadiabatic (electron-phonon coupling) effects simultaneously. The electron-electron thermalization is described within the relaxation-time approximation, which automatically restores various known limits such as instantaneous thermaliza tion (the thermalization time and Born-Oppenheimer(BO) approximation. The results of the simulation suggest that the non-equilibrium state of the electronic system slows down electron-phonon coupling with respect to the electronic equilibrium case in all studied materials: metals, semiconductors, and insulators. In semiconductors and insulators, it also alters the damage threshold of ultrafast nonthermal phase transitionsinduced by modification of the enteratomic potential due to electronic excitation.
