We show that in the severe slowing down temperature regime the relaxation of antiferromagnetic rings and similar magnetic nanoclusters is governed by the quasi-continuum portion of their quadrupolar fluctuation spectrum and not by the…
Experimental observations of the ultrafast (less than 50 fs) demagnetization of Ni have so far defied theoretical explanations particularly since its spin-flipping time is much less than that resulting from spin-orbit and electron-lattice…
