  A hierarchical multiscale approach to model the magnetization dynamics of
ferromagnetic ran- dom alloys is presented. First-principles calculations of
the Heisenberg exchange integrals are linked to atomistic spin models based
upon the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation to calculate
temperature-dependent parameters (e.g., effective exchange interactions,
damping param- eters). These parameters are subsequently used in the
Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch (LLB) model for multi-sublattice magnets to calculate
numerically and analytically the ultrafast demagnetization times. The developed
multiscale method is applied here to FeNi (permalloy) as well as to copper-
doped FeNi alloys. We find that after an ultrafast heat pulse the Ni sublattice
demagnetizes faster than the Fe sublattice for the here-studied FeNi-based
alloys.
