Laser-induced terahertz spin transport (TST) and ultrafast demagnetization (UDM) are
central but so far disconnected phenomena in femtomagnetism and terahertz spintronics …

The direct manipulation of spins via light may provide a path toward ultrafast energy-efficient
devices. However, distinguishing the microscopic processes that can occur during ultrafast …

Laser-induced spin transport is a key ingredient in ultrafast spin dynamics. However, it
remains debated to what extent ultrafast magnetization dynamics generates spin currents …

Irradiating solids with ultrashort laser pulses is known to initiate femtosecond timescale
magnetization dynamics. However, sub-femtosecond spin dynamics have not yet been …

Ultrafast demagnetization can be induced either coherently by direct interaction with the
optical light field or indirectly via excitation of the electron system, which subsequently …

Although light is the fastest means to manipulate the interfacial spin injection and magnetic
proximity related quantum properties of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic van der Waals …

We employ real-time time-dependent density functional theory (rt-TDDFT) and ab initio
nonadiabatic molecular dynamics (NAMD) to systematically investigate the ultrafast laser …

Laser-induced switching of spins in materials is of great interest to revolutionize future
magnetic storage technology and spintronics, which is generally realized in multicomponent …

Abstract Although the Co‐based Heusler compounds are predicted to be half‐metals, their
sub‐picosecond demagnetization dynamics upon laser excitation show a transition‐metal …

Spin-based electronics (spintronics) aims at extending electronic functionalities, which rely
on the electron charge as information carrier, by the spin of the electron. To make spintronics …
