Spurious spin nutation modes arising from truncated memory effects

Markus Weißenhofer, Ritwik Mondal, M. S. Mrudul +1

Spin dynamics is conventionally treated as inertia-free. The inertial Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation (iLLG) extends this with a second-order time derivative, predicting a high-fr…

A crystal-field route to THz-driven magnetization

T. Zalewski, M. S. Mrudul, Y. Lee +5

Light carries angular momentum, but the microscopic pathways that transform it into magnetization remain elusive. Here we establish that crystal-field excitations, historically vie…
