Abstract
Ultrashort optical pulses applied to ferromagnets excite spin polarized hot electrons. Such an ultrashort-pulse excitation is followed by spin-flip scattering due to spin-orbit coupling, "intrinsic" magnetization dynamics and spin-polarized transport. I will present some of our work concerning the interplay of spin-flip scattering due to spin-orbit coupling and exchange scattering in a model system containing itinerant electrons which are exchange-coupled to localized electronic bands. I will also present results on spin-dependent transport of optically excited hot electrons in ferromagnet-metal heterostructures which have gained interest as THz emitters in recent years.
