Ultrafast demagnetization dynamics including spin resolved charge and heat transport. — •Sanjay Ashok, Sebastian T. Weber, Christopher Seibel, Johan Briones, and Bärbel Rethfeld — Fachbereich Physik and OPTIMAS Research Center, TU Kaiserslautern, Kaiserslautern, Germany

Ultrafast Demagnetization of metallic ferromagnets due to excitation with a femtosecond laser pulse was discovered by Beaurepaire et al. in 1996 [1]. In case of metallic magnets with thickness lesser than pene- tration depth of the laser, the film is heated homogeneously. Therefore, due to absence of temperature and density gradients within the material there would be no heat- or charge-currents. For thicker magnetic metals, the heating is not uniform and therefore one needs to distinguish the resulting role of heat and spin-resolved charge transport in ultrafast de- and re- magnetization [2]. This is a pivotal issue owing to rich possibilities in its applications.

Here we study the role of spin-resolved charge and heat transport in ultrafast demagnetization of thick magnetic metal using Thermodynamic µT-model [3] and obtain spatial and temporal evolution of magnetization. We also present the role of applied fluence and trans- port channels.
