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…
Comparing all-optical switching in synthetic-ferrimagnetic multilayers and alloys
Maarten Beens, Mark L. M. Lalieu, Axel J. M. Deenen +2
We present an experimental and theoretical investigation of all-optical switching by single femtosecond laser pulses. Our experimental results demonstrate that, unlike rare earth-t…
Integrating all-optical switching with spintronics
Mark L. M. Lalieu, Reinoud Lavrijsen, Bert Koopmans
All-optical switching (AOS) of magnetic materials describes the reversal of the magnetization using short (femtosecond) laser pulses, and has been observed in a variety of material…
Absorption and generation of femtosecond laser-pulse excited spin currents in non-collinear magnetic bilayers
Mark L. M. Lalieu, Paul L. J. Helgers, Bert Koopmans
Spin currents can be generated on an ultrafast timescale by excitation of a ferromagnetic (FM) thin film with a femtosecond laser-pulse. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the…
Precession-torque-driven domain-wall motion in out-of-plane materials
M. J. G. Peeters, F. C. Ummelen, M. L. M. Lalieu +3
Domain-wall (DW) motion in magnetic nanostrips is intensively studied, in particular because of the possible applications in data storage. In this work, we will investigate a novel…
