The speed and efficiency of ultrafast magnetization dynamics is known to depend on the interplay of the electron, spin, and lattice system in combination with the magnetic moments and the exchange interaction. In order to study the influence of the exchange interaction, one approach is to study alloys with varying with varying stoichiometry and hence exchange coupling between different magnetic constituents.
In our work, we chose a sample system with two magnetic sub-lattices with varying contributions, namely the alloy [FePt]1−χ Mnχ, which we study with the time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect. In this material system, we consistently find a peculiar speed-up of the average demagnetization time at intermediate pump fluencies. In order to understand this process, we use a modified microscopic three temperature model with two interacting spin systems.
We will present experimental results and first simulations.
