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…

Super-Diffusive Spin-Transport as a Mechanism of Ultrafast Demagnetization
Marco Battiato, Karel Carva, Peter M. Oppeneer
We propose a semi-classical model for femtosecond-laser induced demagnetization due to spin-polarized excited electron diffusion in the super-diffusive regime. Our approach treats…
