In the exchange approximation, an exact solution is obtained for the sublattice magnetizations evolution in a two-sublattice ferrimagnet. Nonlinear regimes of spin dynamics are found that include both the longitudinal and precessional evolution of the sublattice magnetizations, with the account taken of the exchange relaxation. In particular, those regimes describe the spin switching observed in the GdFeCo alloy under the influence of a femtosecond laser pulse.

We study the relaxation mechanism of a highly excited carrier propagating in the antiferromagnetic background modeled by the $t$-$J$ Hamiltonian on a square lattice. We show that the relaxation consists of two distinct stages. The initial ultrafast s tage with the relaxation time $tausim (hbar/t_0)(J/t_0)^{-2/3}$ (where $t_0$ is the hopping integral and $J$ is the exchange interaction) is based on generation of string states in the close proximity of the carrier. This unusual scaling of $tau$ is obtained by means of comparison of numerical results with a simplified $t$-$J_z$ model on a Bethe lattice. In the subsequent (much slower) stage local spin excitations are carried away by magnons. The relaxation time on the two-leg ladder system is an order of magnitude longer due to the lack of string excitations. This further reinforces the importance of string excitations for the ultrafast relaxation in the two-dimensional system.

We investigate the spin-stripe mechanism responsible for the peculiar nanometer modulation of the incommensurate magnetic order that emerges between the vector-chiral and the spin-density-wave phase in the frustrated zigzag spin-1/2 chain compound $b eta$-TeVO$_4$. A combination of magnetic-torque, neutron-diffraction and spherical-neutron-polarimetry measurements is employed to determine the complex magnetic structures of all three ordered phases. Based on these results, we develop a simple phenomenological model, which exposes the exchange anisotropy as the key ingredient for the spin-stripe formation in frustrated spin systems.
Using the mean field theory in the slave-boson approach we analyzed the electron correlation effects in the stripe phases. One finds that a finite next-nearest neighbor hopping $t$ plays an important role in the low doping regime, where it controls t he crossover from the filled diagonal to half-filled vertical/horizontal stripes at doping $ xsimeq 1/16$.
X-ray magnetic circular and linear dichroism (XMCD and XMLD) have been used to investigate the Fe magnetic response during the spin reorientation transition (SRT) in TmFeO3. These experiments are complemented with resonant magnetic diffraction experi ments at the Tm M5 edge to study simultaneously the induced magnetic order in the Tm 4f shell and the behavior of the Tm orbitals through the SRT. Comparing the Fe XMLD results with neutron diffraction and magnetization measurements on the same sample indicate that the SRT has an enhanced temperature range in the near surface region. This view is supported by the resonant soft x-ray diffraction results at the Tm M5 edge. These find an induced magnetic moment on the Tm sites, which is well-described by a dipolar mean field model originating from the Fe moments. Even though such a model can describe the 4f response in the experiments, it is insufficient to describe the SRT even when considering a change in the 4f anisotropy. Moreover, the results of the Fe XMCD are indicative of a decoupling of spin canting and antiferromagnetic spin rotation in the near surface regime close to the SRT, which remains to be understood.
Ultrafast non-thermal manipulation of magnetization by light relies on either indirect coupling of the electric field component of the light with spins via spin-orbit interaction or direct coupling between the magnetic field component and spins. Here we propose a novel scenario for coupling between the electric field of light and spins via optical modification of the exchange interaction, one of the strongest quantum effects, the strength of which can reach 1000 Tesla. We demonstrate that this isotropic opto-magnetic effect, which can be called the inverse magneto-refraction, is allowed in a material of any symmetry. Its existence is corroborated by the experimental observation of THz emission by magnetic-dipole active spin resonances optically excited in a broad class of iron oxides with a canted spin configuration. From its strength we estimate that a sub-picosecond laser pulse with a moderate fluence of ~ 1 mJ/cm^2 acts as a pulsed effective magnetic field of 0.01 Tesla, arising from the optically perturbed balance between the exchange parameters. Our findings are supported by a low-energy theory for the microscopic magnetic interactions between non-equilibrium electrons subjected to an optical field which suggests a possibility to modify the exchange interactions by light over 1 %.
