In metals, spin dynamics is non-local and determined by the transport of spin-polarized hot carriers (HC). We monitor resulting ultrafast variations of the magnetization in ferro- and the appearance of transient magnetization in paramagnetic layers by time-resolved MOKE. To get deeper insight in complex dynamics of the excited state, we complement MOKE by magneto-induced second harmonic generation (mSHG) which is sensitive to electron and magnetization dynamics at interfaces. In addition, it contains terms proportional (i.e. giving a direct access) to electric and spin currents in the bulk of metallic layers. Analyzing the response of Au/Fe/MgO(001) and Fe/Au/Fe/MgO(001) structures with varying layer thicknesses, we observe contributions from both charge/particle and spin components of HC currents within 300 fs after the excitation. The underlying mechanisms and related details of mSHG diagnostics are discussed. DFG (ME 3570/1, Sfb 616) and EU 7-th framework program (CRONOS) are acknowledged.
