The field of spintronics is driven by the desire to develop new spin-based devices with performances surpassing the ones used in present-day technologies. It is then important to understand the ultrafast dynamical properties of such devices. This is challenging, as the electronic and spin dynamics have very different intrinsic time scales and simultaneously being intricately coupled — and so, they are best described by a unified theory. We build such a theory by parametrizing a realistic tight-binding hamiltonian based on first-principles electronic structure calculations, and then solving it for the real-time evolution of the system. We benchmark this approach with a simple model, meant to abstract the main features of the spin-polarized electronic structure. We then perform calculations for Co/Pt(001) and Fe/W(110) bilayers, and compare and contrast the results of the time-dependent approach with existing linear response ones [1].
