Abstract
A many-body theory of femtosecond laser-induced magnetization dynamics in itinerant ferromagnets is presented, which includes Coulomb and spinorbit interactions, as well as interatomic hybridizations on the same footing. Applications to small systems demonstrate that ultrafast demagnetization can be understood as a purely electronic spin-orbit coupling triggered mechanism.
