Ab Initio Spinor Kadanoff-Baym Approach to Nonequilibrium Electron, Phonon and Magnon Dynamics in Itinerant Ferromagnets

This work introduces a theoretical framework based on the Kadanoff-Baym equations in spinor space to study ultrafast magnetization dynamics in itinerant ferromagnetic systems from first principles. By incorporating spin-orbit coupling into the ab initio Hamiltonian and generalizing the self-energies
