Enhanced inertial magnetization response driven by chirped terahertz field.

We explore the spin dynamics process in ferromagnets driven by chirped THz fields, utilizing the spin dynamics model derived from the inertial Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. Our findings reveal a substantial enhancement in spin dynamics intensity, ranging from 15% to 20% when the sample is subjected to a chirped THz pulse. Additionally, it is observed that chirped THz fields have the capability to shift the peak of spin dynamics, with the variation dependent on the chirping time of the THz pulse.
