Ultrafast demagnetization dynamics of thin Fe/W(110) films: comparison of time and spin-resolved photoemission with time resolved magneto-optic experimentsAlexander Weber1,2, Federico Pressacco1, Stefan Günther1, •Eduardo Mancini1, and Christian Back11Physics Department, Universität Regensburg, 93040 Regensburg, Germany — 2Institut für Festkörperforschung, Forschungszentrum Jülich, 52425 Jülich, Germany

We use two complementary experimental approaches to probe ultrafast magnetization dynamics. Using a 1.55 eV pump laser pulse we demagnetize 7 monolayer (ML) thin Fe films epitaxially grown on W(110). We probe the temporal evolution of the magnetization using time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect (TR-MOKE) at a probe photon energy of 3.1 eV. In addition we use time- and spin- resolved photoemission (TR-SPES) to probe the evolution of the spin polarization of the film (probe photon energy 5.9 eV). With TR-MOKE for all the observed quenching the demagnetization times have the same value (within the error bars) equal to the expected cross-correlation of the pump and probe pulses (about 250 fs). However TR-SPES measurements show demagnetization times limited by the cross-correlation (about 320 fs) only for quenching below 33%. Indeed, for greater quenching we find a significant increase in the demagnetization times to about 500 fs. We explain this behavior as a clear indication of the bandstructure importance in the demagnetization process.
