State-resolved ultrafast charge and spin dynamics in [Co/Pd] multilayers

Loïc Le Guyader, Daniel J. Higley, Matteo Pancaldi +17

We use transient absorption spectroscopy with circularly polarized x-rays to detect laser-excited hole states below the Fermi level and compare their dynamics with that of unoccupi…
