论文摘要
我们报告了由时间分辨的磁光 - 光学kerr效应探测的Heusler Alloy $ \ mathrm {Co_ {2} feal} $中的光学诱导的超快磁化动力学。将实验结果与电子结构理论和原子自旋动力学模拟的结果进行比较。在实验上,我们发现在$ \ mathrm {co_ {2} feal} $的胶片中的电磁时间($τ_{m} $)几乎与变化的结构顺序无关,并且与元素3D Ferromagnets中的结构相似。相比之下,发现在$τ_{r} $指定的磁化恢复过程较慢,是在picsecond Time量表上发生的,并且被证明与Gilbert Damping参数($α$)密切相关。我们的结果表明,$ \ mathrm {co_ {2} feal} $是唯一的,因为它是第一种清楚地证明在remagnetization过程中减震参数重要性的材料。基于这些结果,我们认为对于$ \ mathrm {co_ {2} feal} $,remagnetization过程以镁动力学为主导,这可能具有一般适用性。
We report on optically induced, ultrafast magnetization dynamics in the Heusler alloy $\mathrm{Co_{2}FeAl}$, probed by time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect. Experimental results are compared to results from electronic structure theory and atomistic spin-dynamics simulations. Experimentally, we find that the demagnetization time ($τ_{M}$) in films of $\mathrm{Co_{2}FeAl}$ is almost independent of varying structural order, and that it is similar to that in elemental 3d ferromagnets. In contrast, the slower process of magnetization recovery, specified by $τ_{R}$, is found to occur on picosecond time scales, and is demonstrated to correlate strongly with the Gilbert damping parameter ($α$). Our results show that $\mathrm{Co_{2}FeAl}$ is unique, in that it is the first material that clearly demonstrates the importance of the damping parameter in the remagnetization process. Based on these results we argue that for $\mathrm{Co_{2}FeAl}$ the remagnetization process is dominated by magnon dynamics, something which might have general applicability.
