The recent discovery of two-dimensional (2D) magnets and the related van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures has generated a great deal of excitement over their potential for manipulation of spin or magnetism at the atomistic scale. Optically driving 2D magnetic and vdW heterostructures offer the possibility of ultrafast and noncontact tunability for exploring new physics and spintronic applications. The aim of the project is to unravel the microscopic mechanisms of photo-induced interlayer spin transfer, and explore ultrafast optical control magnetic properties in a large variety of 2D magnets and vdW heterostructures based on real-time time-dependent density functional theory. The ground-state properties of 2D magnets and vdW heterostructures, including structure, electronic, magnetic and optical properties will firstly be investigated. Then, we will develop a fundamental understanding for the interlayer ultrafast spin-dependent charge transfer process in photo-excited vdW-coupled magnetic interface with specific focus on the role of magnetic order and of spin-orbital coupling. In parallel, we will explore ultrafast light-induced switching of magnetization direction and interlayer magnetic coupling between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic states in some selected magnetic vdW system. Furthermore, the influence of stacking order through rotation and translation between the layers on the light-induced dynamics of 2D magnets and vdW heterostructures will be examined in particular.

最近发现的二维 (2D) 磁体和相关的范德华 (vdW) 异质结构因其在原子尺度上操纵自旋或磁性的潜力而引起了极大的兴奋。光学驱动的 2D 磁性和 vdW 异质结构为探索新的物理和自旋电子学应用提供了超快和非接触可调性的可能性。该项目的目的是揭示光致层间自旋转移的微观机制，并基于实时时间相关密度泛函理论探索各种二维磁体和 vdW 异质结构中的超快光控磁特性。首先将研究二维磁体和 vdW 异质结构的基态特性，包括结构、电子、磁和光学特性。然后，我们将对光激发 vdW 耦合磁界面中的层间超快自旋相关电荷转移过程有一个基本的了解，特别关注磁序和自旋轨道耦合的作用。与此同时，我们将在一些选定的磁性 vdW 系统中探索磁化方向的超快光诱导切换以及铁磁和反铁磁状态之间的层间磁耦合。此外，还将特别研究通过层之间的旋转和平移实现的堆叠顺序对 2D 磁体和 vdW 异质结构的光致动力学的影响。
