Irradiating ferromagnetic films with an ultrashort laser pulse leads to a quenching of the magnetization on a subpicosecond timescale [1]. Our spin-resolved Boltzmann description allows to describe the out-of-equilibrium electrons and their microscopic collision processes [2].

Recent experiments in an exchange coupled ferromagnetic Fe-Ni alloy (Permalloy) have revealed element-specific dynamics right after the optical excitation [3]. To reveal the mechanisms responsible, we have set up a model to trace the spin-resolved electron dynamics in dependence on both magnetic sublattices of the alloy. Our results show the influence of the involved coupling mechanisms on the different relaxation processes.
