Abstract
The relaxation processes of electrons and spins systems following the absorption of femtosecond optical pulses in ferromagnetic nickel have been studied using optical and magneto-optical pump-probe electron and spin dynamics are observed for delays in the range 0-5 ps. The experi mental results are adequately described by a model including three int eracting reservoirs (electron, spin, and lattice).
