Harmonic generation predominantly from a single spin channel in a half metal

G. P. Zhang, Y. H. Bai

Harmonic generation in atoms and molecules has reshaped our understanding of ultrafast phenomena beyond the traditional nonlinear optics and has launched attosecond physics. Harmon…

Spin Berry points as crucial for ultrafast demagnetization

G. P. Zhang, Y. H. Bai, Thomas F. George

Laser-induced ultrafast demagnetization has puzzled researchers around the world for over two decades. Intrinsic complexity in electronic, magnetic, and phononic subsystems is diff…

An attempt to simulate laser-induced all-optical spin switching in a crystalline ferrimagnet

G. P. Zhang, Robert Meadows, Antonio Tamayo +2

Interest in all-optical spin switching (AOS) is growing rapidly. The recent discovery of AOS in MnRuGa provides a much needed clean case of crystalline ferrimagnets for theoret…

Spin-orbit torque-mediated spin-wave excitation as an alternative paradigm for femtomagnetism

G. P. Zhang, M. Murakami, Y. H. Bai +2

Laser-induced femtosecond demagnetization, femtomagnetism, offers a potential route to develop faster magnetic storage devices. It is generally believed that the traditional spin-w…

Is perpendicular magnetic anisotropy essential to all-optical ultrafast spin reversal in ferromagnets?

G. P. Zhang, Y. H. Bai, Thomas F. George

All-optical spin reversal presents a new opportunity for spin manipulations, free of a magnetic field. Most of all-optical-spin-reversal ferromagnets are found to have a perpendicu…

Magnetic spin moment reduction in photoexcited ferromagnets through exchange interaction quenching: Beyond the rigid band approximation

G. P. Zhang, M. S. Si, Y. H. Bai +1

The exchange interaction among electrons is one of the most fundamental quantum mechanical interactions in nature and underlies any magnetic phenomena from ferromagnetic ordering t…
