Connecting the timescales in picosecond remagnetization experiments
arXiv:cond-mat/0608063 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.75.012404
Abstract
In femtosecond demagnetization experiments, one gains access to the elementary relaxation mechanisms of a magnetically ordered spin system on a time scale of 100 fs. Following these experiments, we report a combined micromagnetic and experimental study that connects the different regimes known from all-optical pump-probe experiments by employing a simple micromagnetic model. We identify spin-wave packets on the nanometer scale that contribute to the remagnetization process on the intermediate time scale between single-spin relaxation and collective precession.
