Abstract

The exploring of ultrafast demagnetization is a significant subject for understanding the versatility of spin dynamics. However, the laser-induced ultrafast demagnetization process in chiral magnet FeGe has remained elusive. Here, we report the ultrafast demagnetization processes of FeGe film with various magnetic structures using time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect (TRMOKE) measurements. Our work reveals a transition from one-step ultrafast demagnetization (type I) to two-step demagnetization (type II) process by changing ambient temperature, laser fluence, and magnetic field. We confirm that the transition from one-step to two-step ultrafast demagnetization mainly results from the weak electron-phonon (e-p) coupling. In the skyrmion phase region, TRMOKE curves demonstrate a two-step ultrafast demagnetization process. The two-step ultrafast demagnetization will further enhance the magnetization loss, and consequently facilitate the magnetization switching and pave a pathway to engineer chiral magnetic devices on picosecond timescales.
