Ultrafast manipulation of magnetic moments is a captivating subject within contemporary magnetism and spintronics. In this work, we conduct a pump-probe experiment on the non-collinear antiferromagnet Mn3Sn, which shows large anomalous Hall effect due to nontrivial topology of its electron band structure. The observed asynchronous alteration after the pump in both the magneto-optical Kerr signal and reflectivity implies changes linked not only to the electron occupation but also to a change of the spin configuration. The relatively low heat capacity of electrons will cause a rapid increase in electron temperature and thermoelectric current can generate polarized current. Spin dynamics calculation confirmed the possible formation of a net magnetization when the pump fluence is large. Our research uncovers novel phenomena within antiferromagnets, offering a fresh approach to comprehend ultrafast physics in magnetic systems.
