Spin Berry points as crucial for ultrafast demagnetization

چکیده

Laser-induced ultrafast demagnetization has puzzled researchers around the world for over two decades. Intrinsic complexity in electronic, magnetic, and phononic subsystems is difficult to understand microscopically. So far it not possible explain using a single mechanism, which suggests crucial piece of information still missing. In this paper, we return fundamental aspect physics: spin its change within each band entire Brillouin zone. We employ fcc Ni as an example use extremely dense {\bf k} mesh map out changes every close Fermi level along all high symmetry lines. To our surprise, angular momentum at some special points abruptly from $\pm \hbar/2$ $\mp simply by moving one crystal point next. This explains why intraband transitions, superdiffusion model based upon, can induce sharp moment reduction, electric current orientation spintronics. These points, are called Berry random appear when several bands other, so potential majority states different that minority states. Although band, jump, group neighboring together, they form distinctive smooth It structure disrupts those Spin laser-induced

Ultrafast optical demagnetization manipulates nanoscale spin structure in domain walls

During ultrafast demagnetization of a magnetically ordered solid, angular momentum has to be transferred between the spins, electrons, and phonons in the system on femto- and picosecond timescales. Although the intrinsic spin-transfer mechanisms are intensely debated, additional extrinsic mechanisms arising due to nanoscale heterogeneity have only recently entered the discussion. Here we use fe...

Indirect excitation of ultrafast demagnetization

Does the excitation of ultrafast magnetization require direct interaction between the photons of the optical pump pulse and the magnetic layer? Here, we demonstrate unambiguously that this is not the case. For this we have studied the magnetization dynamics of a ferromagnetic cobalt/palladium multilayer capped by an IR-opaque aluminum layer. Upon excitation with an intense femtosecond-short IR ...

Laser-induced ultrafast demagnetization in ferromagnetic metals.

The laser-induced femtosecond demagnetization in ferromagnetic metals is investigated theoretically. Different from the conventional nanosecond one, this ultrafast demagnetization is a cooperative effect of the external laser field and the internal spin-orbit coupling. The spin-orbit coupling smears out the original identities of triplets and singlets while the laser field uses it as an avenue ...

Ultrafast demagnetization enhancement in CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB magnetic tunneling junction driven by spin tunneling current

The laser-induced ultrafast demagnetization of CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB magnetic tunneling junction is exploited by time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect (TRMOKE) for both the parallel state (P state) and the antiparallel state (AP state) of the magnetizations between two magnetic layers. It was observed that the demagnetization time is shorter and the magnitude of demagnetization is larger in the A...

Demagnetization of spin systems at low temperature

We report on analytical and numerical results for the time evolution of a ~lattice! model of ferromagnetic particles after field inversion. Relaxation from the metastable phase occurs by superposition of two independent spin-flip processes: with probability 12p , the flip obeys the Metropolis rule at finite temperature, T , while the flip is performed at random, as for T→` , with probability p ...
