Systems with antiferromagnetic ordering in real space often exhibit topological features in momentum space that only recently have been investigated in a comprehensive fashion [1]. For instance, depending on the magnetic ordering, they may have band structures with a pronounced anisotropy in band energies and in the spin structure of their single-particle states due to Dirac fermions. We present numerical calculations of the electron dynamics due to electron-phonon interactions [2,3] in model systems with two-dimensional k-space that capture key properties of antiferromagnetic Dirac materials in momentum space. After an instantaneous heating of the electronic system we obtain a transient carrier distributions, which reflect the momentum-space features. Surprisingly, completely anisotropic carrier distribution may evolve, even from excited carrier distributions that are isotropic in energy, i.e., f(E(k)) = f(E).
