Iron Germanium Telluride (FGT) is a van der Waals metallic ferromagnet that has shown a wealth of exotic phenomena, ranging from 2D ferromagnetism with gate-tunable Curie temperature to heavy fermion behaviour. Despite its interest, its electronic structure and the microscopic interactions giving rise to magnetic order are still poorly understood: evidence exists of both itinerant and localized magnetic behaviour, an anomaly in a purely 3d electronic system. By employing time-resolved angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (trARPES), we observe clear evidence of the closure of the Stoner exchange gap, a clear indication of an itinerant character of the electronic excitations. This is in contrast with previous results of quasi-equilibrium studies, which ascribed FGT demagnetization to localized excitations. We also observe, by employing frequency domain ARPES, the impact of phononic excitations, resulting in an A1g phonon strongly coupled with the bandstructure at the Brillouin zone centre.
