Ultrafast spin dynamics in inhomogeneous systems: a density-matrix approach applied to Co/Cu interfaces
Ultrafast spin dynamics on femto- to picosecond timescales is simulated within a density-operator approach for a Co/Cu bilayer. The electronic structure is represented in a tight-binding form; during the evolution of the density operator, optical excitation by a femtosecond laser pulse, coupling to...
