Heat accumulation and all-optical switching by domain wall motion in Co/Pd superlattices
arXiv:1608.01411 · doi:10.1088/1361-648X/aa6c93
Abstract
All-optical switching by domain wall motion has been observed in Co/Pd superlattices. Heat accumulation is part of the switching process for our experimental conditions. Numerical calculations point to a connection between domain wall motion and in-plane heat diffusion.
