Simulation of hot-electron spin currents in magnetic multilayersDennis M. Nenno1,2, Marius Weber Weber1, Rolf Binder2, and •Hans Christian Schneider11University of Kaiserslautern, Kaiserslautern, Germany — 2University of Arizona, Tucson, USA

``Hot electron'' spin-currents in magnetic heterostructures, which result from excitation by ultrafast optical pulses, have been described by different non-diffusive electron-transport calculations [1,2]. We present a computational approach to hot-electron transport in magnetic multilayers based on the particle-in-cell method for the Boltzmann transport equation. This approach allows one to simulate the electronic dynamics in the whole slab, including transmission coefficients and ab-initio material data. From the calculations, we extract typical transport coefficients and clarify the contribution of secondary carrier generation in the transition from ballistic to diffusive transport behavior.

We combine our transport model with a calculation of the emitted fields to determine the radiation spectrum from spintronic Terahertz emitters [3], and analyze both single emitters and arrays.
