Hot-Electron-Induced Ultrafast Demagnetization in Co/Pt Multilayers.

Physical review letters·2016

We developed a model explaining how magnetic order in metals quickly recovers after laser pulses. This ultrafast magnetic equilibration time is linked to the Gilbert damping factor and Curie temperature.

Area of Science:

  • Condensed matter physics
  • Ultrafast magnetism
  • Spintronics

Background:

  • Pulsed laser excitation of ferromagnetic metals leads to ultrafast demagnetization.
  • The dynamics of magnetic order recovery are not fully understood.
  • Understanding these dynamics is crucial for applications in high-speed magnetic devices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a microscopic model explaining the ultrafast equilibration of magnetic order.
  • To establish a relationship between magnetic equilibration time and material properties.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a microscopic model for magnetic order dynamics.
  • Theoretical derivation of relationships between key parameters.

Main Results:

  • The model successfully explains ultrafast magnetic order equilibration on a femtosecond timescale.
  • A direct relationship was found between magnetic equilibration time (tau(M)) and the Gilbert damping factor (sigma).
  • An equation tau(M) ≈ (1/4)h/(k(B)T(C))σ was derived, linking tau(M), Curie temperature (T(C)), and sigma.

Conclusions:

  • The Gilbert damping factor is a key parameter governing ultrafast magnetic equilibration.
  • Phonon-mediated spin-flip scattering may play a significant role in the sub-picosecond response.
  • The derived equation provides a simple yet powerful tool for predicting magnetic recovery times.
