Superdiffusive Spin Transport as a Mechanism of Ultrafast Demagnetization

TL;DR: A semiclassical model for femtosecond laser-induced demagnetization due to spin-polarized excited electron diffusion in the superdiffusive regime is proposed and it is shown that this mechanism accounts for the experimentally observed demagnetsization within 200 fs in Ni, without the need to invoke any angular momentum dissipation channel.
Journal ArticleDOI

Terahertz spin current pulses controlled by magnetic heterostructures.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated, by experiment and theory, that the temporal shape of femtosecond spin current bursts can be manipulated by using specifically designed magnetic heterostructures, which opens the door to engineering high-speed spintronic devices and, potentially, broadband terahertz emitters.

Ultrafast Magnetization Enhancement in Metallic Multilayers Driven by Superdiffusive Spin Current

TL;DR: Spatially separate the spin dynamics using Ni/Ru/Fe magnetic trilayers and surprisingly find that optically induced demagnetization of the Ni layer transiently enhances the magnetizations of the Fe layer when the two layer magnetizations are initially aligned parallel.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ultrafast spin transport as key to femtosecond demagnetization

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that direct laser irradiation is in fact not essential for ultrafast demagnetization, and that electron cascades caused by hot electron currents accomplish it very efficiently.
