Hybrid simulation of nonequilibrium spin dynamics — •Johan Briones, Sebastian Weber, Christopher Seibel, Sanjay Ashok, and Baerbel Rethfeld — Department of Physics and Optimas Rearch Center, TU Kaiserslautern, Germany

The complex phenomenon arising after a magnetic film has been excited by a femtosecond laser pulse is studied using a hybrid model (similar to [1]). It consists of a combination of two methods: A Monte Carlo model and the muT model [2]. The former will trace individual high energy nonequilibrium electrons [3], including spin-dependent scattering processes and spin-flip probabilities. The latter, will treat the low energy electrons as an ensemble, tracing their temperature and chemical potential. The magnetization dynamics will be investigated by using a two-band dynamic model which will be first applied to the case of Nickel.

The long-term perspective of this project is to develop a model that can describe the non-equilibrium transport and its effect on magnetization dynamics.
