Spin-polarized hot electron transport versus spin pumping mediated by local heating
Maarten Beens, Koen de Mare, Rembert Duine +1
A `toy model' - aimed at capturing the essential physics - is presented that jointly describes spin-polarized hot electron transport and spin pumping driven by local heating. These…
Enhancing All-Optical Switching of Magnetization by He Ion Irradiation
Pingzhi Li, Johannes W. van der Jagt, Maarten Beens +8
All-optical switching (AOS) of magnetization by a single femtosecond laser pulse in Co/Gd based synthetic ferrimagnets is the fastest magnetization switching process. On the other…
Probing Laser-Induced Spin-Current Generation in Synthetic Ferrimagnets Using Spin Waves
Tom Lichtenberg, Youri L. W. van Hees, Maarten Beens +4
Several rare-earth transition-metal ferrimagnetic systems exhibit all-optical magnetization switching upon excitation with a femtosecond laser pulse. Although this phenomenon is ve…
Laser induced ultrafast Gd 4f spin dynamics in Co100-xGdx alloys by means of time-resolved XMCD
T. Ferté, M. Beens, G. Malinowski +8
We have studied the laser induced ultrafast quenching of Gd 4f magnetic order in ferrimagnetic Co100-xGdx alloys to highlight the role of the inter-atomic exchange coupling. We hav…
