Simulation of Hot-Carrier Dynamics and Terahertz Emission in Laser-Excited Metallic Bilayers
Dennis M. Nenno, Rolf Binder, Hans Christian Schneider
Metallic bilayer structures have been shown to emit strong terahertz (THz) pulses. We present a predictive multiscale mode that simulates optically induced spin-currents in a Fe/Pt…
Impact ionization dynamics in small band-gap 2D materials from a coherent phonon mechanism
Stephan Michael, Hans Christian Schneider
We study theoretically the role of carrier multiplication due to impact ionization after an ultrafast optical excitation in a model system of a quasi-two dimensional material with…
Particle-in-cell simulation of ultrafast hot-carrier transport in Fe/Au-heterostructures
Dennis M. Nenno, Bärbel Rethfeld, Hans Christian Schneider
We describe a theoretical approach for spin-polarized hot-electron transport, as it occurs after excitation by ultrafast optical pulses in heterostructures formed by ferromagnetic…
Off-resonant all-optical switching dynamics in a ferromagnetic model system
Christiane Scholl, Svenja Vollmar, Hans Christian Schneider
We present a theoretical study of the the effects of off-resonant polarized optical fields on a ferromagnetic model system. We determine the light-induced dynamics of itinerant car…
