Abstract We perform first-principles calculations and coherent laser-matter interaction analyses to investigate the laser-induced ultrafast spin flip on graphene nanoflakes (GNFs) with transition metal elements attached on the boundary [TM&GNFs (TM=Fe, Co, Ni)]. It is shown that the spin-flip process on TM&GNFs is highly influenced by the involved element species and the position attached to the nanoflakes. Furthermore, taking Ni&GNF as an example, the first-principles tensile test predicts that the variation of the C-Ni bond length plays an important role in the spin density distribution, especially for the low-lying magnetic states, and can therefore dominate the spin-flip processes. The fastest spin-flip scenario is achieved within 80 fs in a Ni&GNF structure under 10% tensile strain along the C-Ni bond. The local deformation modulation of spin flip provides the precursory guidance for further study of ultrafast magnetization control in GNFs, which could lead to potential applications in future integrated straintronic devices.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
