Abstract

Demagnetization in a thin film due to a terahertz pulse of magnetic field is investigated. Linearized LLG equation in the Fourier space to describe the magnetization dynamics is derived, and spin waves time evolution is studied. Finally, the demagnetization due to spin waves dynamics and recent experimental observations on similar magnetic system are compared. As a result of it, the marginal role of spin waves dynamics in loss of magnetization is established.
