In this work, we introduce a new heat-conserving three temperature model (HC3TM) for calculations of spin, electron, and lattice temperatures during ultrafast magnetisation dynamics simulations.
The proposed HC3TM has several advantages in comparison with the three-temperature model (3TM), proposed by Beurepaire. It reduces the reliance on heat transfer parameters, such as electron-spin, electron-lattice, and spin-lattice. These parameters are often hard to estimate which impedes the comparison with experimental data.
We apply HC3TM for the simulations of ultrafast demagnetisation of nickel and iron and compare the results with 3TM. HC3TM gives a demagnetisation rate during the first picoseconds after the absorption of a laser pulse which is in line with experiments. Overall, the proposed HC3TM reproduces experimental observations for nickel and iron better than most existing 3TM while it reduces the number of required parameters.
