Theory of superdiffusive spin transport in noncollinear magnetic multilayers
Pavel Baláž, Maciej Zwierzycki, Francesco Cosco +3
Ultrafast demagnetization induced by femtosecond laser pulses in thin metallic layers is caused by the outflow of spin-polarized hot electron currents describable by the superdiffu…
Anisotropic Ultrafast Spin Dynamics in Epitaxial Cobalt
Vivek Unikandanunni, Rajasekhar Medapalli, Eric E. Fullerton +3
We investigate the ultrafast spin dynamics in an epitaxial hcp(1100) cobalt thin film. By performing pump-probe magneto-optical measurements with the magnetization along either the…
Domain wall dynamics due to femtosecond laser-induced superdiffusive spin transport
Pavel Baláž, Karel Carva, Ulrike Ritzmann +2
Manipulation of magnetic domain walls via a helicity-independent laser pulse has recently been experimentally demonstrated and various physical mechanisms leading to domain wall dy…
Transport theory for femtosecond laser-induced spin-transfer torques
Pavel Baláž, Martin Žonda, Karel Carva +2
Ultrafast demagnetization of magnetic layers pumped by a femtosecond laser pulse is accompanied by a nonthermal spin-polarized current of hot electrons. These spin currents are stu…
Ab initio theory of electron-phonon mediated ultrafast spin relaxation of laser-excited hot electrons in transition-metal ferromagnets
K. Carva, M. Battiato, D. Legut +1
We report a computational theoretical investigation of electron spin-flip scattering induced by the electron-phonon interaction in the transition-metal ferromagnets bcc Fe, fcc Co…
Ab initio investigation of Elliott-Yafet electron-phonon mechanism in laser-induced ultrafast demagnetization
K. Carva, M. Battiato, P. M. Oppeneer
The spin-flip (SF) Eliashberg function is calculated from first-principles for ferromagnetic Ni to accurately establish the contribution of Elliott-Yafet electron-phonon SF scatter…
