Ultrafast Laser Pulse Induced Transient Ferrimagnetic State and Spin Relaxation Dynamics in Two-Dimensional Antiferromagnets

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

We employ real-time time-dependent density functional theory (rt-TDDFT) and ab initio nonadiabatic molecular dynamics (NAMD) to systematically investigate the ultrafast laser pulses induced spin transfer and relaxation dynamics of two-dimensional (2D) antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic (AFM/FM) MnPS3/MnSe2 van der Waals heterostructures. We demonstrate that laser pulses can induce a ferrimagnetic (FiM) state in the AFM MnPS3 layer within tens of femtoseconds and maintain it for subpicosecond time scale before reverting to the AFM state. We identify the mechanism in which the asymmetric optical intersite spin transfer (OISTR) effect occurring within the sublattices of the AFM and FM layers drives the interlayer spin-selective charge transfer, leading to the transition from AFM to FiM state. Furthermore, the unequal electron-phonon coupling of spin-up and spin-down channels of AFM spin sublattice causes an inequivalent spin relaxation, in turn extending the time scale of the FiM state. These findings are essential for designing novel optical-driven ultrafast 2D magnetic switches.
