Electron transport under an ultrafast laser pulse: Implication for spin transport
Robert Meadows, Y. Xue, Nicholas Allbritton +1
Laser-driven electron transport across a sample has garnered enormous attentions over several decades, because it potentially allows one to control spin transports in spintronics.…
Strong and nearly 100 spin-polarized second-harmonic generation from ferrimagnet MnRuGa
Y. Q. Liu, M. S. Si, G. P. Zhang
Second-harmonic generation (SHG) has emerged as a promising tool for detecting electronic and magnetic structures in noncentrosymmetric materials, but 100 spin-polarized SHG ha…
Laser-induced ultrafast demagnetization time and spin moment in ferromagnets: First-principles calculation
G. P. Zhang, M. S. Si, Thomas F. George
When a laser pulse excites a ferromagnet, its spin undergoes a dramatic change. The initial demagnetization process is very fast. Experimentally, it is found that the demagnetizati…
Superintermolecular orbitals in the C/pentacene complex
G. P. Zhang, A. Gardner, T. Latta +2
We report a group of unusually big molecular orbitals in the C60/pentacene complex. Our first-principles density functional calculation shows that these orbitals are very delocaliz…
All-optical spin switching: A new frontier in femtomagnetism -- A short review and a simple theory
G. P. Zhang, T. Latta, Z. Babyak +2
Using an ultrafast laser pulse to manipulate the spin degree of freedom has broad technological appeal. It allows one to control the spin dynamics on a femtosecond time scale. The…
