Abstract: Superdiffusive spin transport has been proposed as a new mechanism of ultrafast demagnetization in layered magnetic nanostructures and demonstrated experimentally. However, it is unknown if it is possible for phonon transport to occur and manipulate ultrafast demagnetization. Here, we explore the ultrafast dynamics of demagnetization of an antiferromagnet/ferromagnet bilayer nanostructure, of a FeMn/MnGa bilayer film prepared by molecular beam epitaxy. Ultrafast dynamics of a two-step demagnetization were observed through the time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect. The first-step fast component of the two-step demagnetization occurred within ~200 fs, while the second-step slow component emerged in a few tens of picoseconds. For a single MnGa film, only the ultrafast dynamics of the first-step fast demagnetization were observed, revealing that the second-step slow demagnetization originates from interlayer phonon transport. A four-temperature model considering phonon transport was developed and used to effectively reproduce the observed ultrafast dynamics of two-step demagnetization. Our results reveal the effect of phonon transport on demagnetization for the first time and open up a new route to manipulate ultrafast demagnetization in layered magnetic structures.
