Ultrafast Demagnetization Dynamics Due to Electron-Electron Scattering and Its Relation to Momentum Relaxation in Ferromagnets

Svenja Vollmar, Kai Leckron, Hans Christian Schneider

We analyze theoretically the demagnetization dynamics in a ferromagnetic model system due to the interplay of spin-orbit coupling and electron-electron Coulomb scattering. We compu…

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…

Ultrafast spin-lattice relaxation in ferromagnets including effective spin-orbit fields

Kai Leckron, Svenja Vollmar, Hans Christian Schneider

We investigate ultrafast demagnetization due to electron-phonon interaction in a model band-ferromagnet. We show that the microscopic mechanism behind the spin dynamics due to elec…

Generalized Elliott-Yafet spin-relaxation time for arbitrary spin mixing

Svenja Vollmar, David J. Hilton, Hans Christian Schneider

We extend our recent result for the spin-relaxation time due to acoustic electron-phonon scattering in degenerate bands with spin mixing [New J. Phys. 18, 023012 (2015)] to include…

Reexamination of the Elliott-Yafet spin-relaxation mechanism

Alexander Baral, Svenja Vollmar, Steffen Kaltenborn +1

We analyze spin-dependent carrier dynamics due to incoherent electron-phonon scattering, which is commonly referred to as Elliott-Yafet (EY) spin-relaxation mechanism. For this mec…

Magnetization dynamics and damping due to electron-phonon scattering in a ferrimagnetic exchange model

Alexander Baral, Svenja Vollmar, Hans Christian Schneider

We present a microscopic calculation of magnetization damping for a magnetic "toy model." The magnetic system consists of itinerant carriers coupled antiferromagnetically to a disp…
