An attempt to simulate laser-induced all-optical spin switching in a crystalline ferrimagnet

Interest in all-optical spin switching (AOS) is growing rapidly. The recent discovery of AOS in Mn2RuGa provides a much needed clean case of crystalline ferrimagnets for theoretical simulations. Here, we attempt to simulate it using the state-of-the-art first-principles method combined with the Heis...
