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…
Distinguishing Local and non-Local Demagnetization in Ferromagnetic FePt Nanoparticles
Patrick W. Granitzka, Alexander H. Reid, Jerome Hurst +21
Time-resolved coherent X-ray diffraction is used to measure the spatially resolved magnetization structure within FePt nanoparticles during laser-induced ultrafast demagnetization.…
Spin-current-mediated rapid magnon localisation and coalescence after ultrafast optical pumping of ferrimagnetic alloys
E. Iacocca, T-M. Liu, A. H. Reid +31
Sub-picosecond magnetisation manipulation via femtosecond optical pumping has attracted wide attention ever since its original discovery in 1996. However, the spatial evolution of…
Magnetic switching in granular FePt layers promoted by near-field laser enhancement
Patrick W. Granitzka, Emmanuelle Jal, Loïc Le Guyader +20
Light-matter interaction at the nanoscale in magnetic materials is a topic of intense research in view of potential applications in next-generation high-density magnetic recording.…
Femtosecond X-ray magnetic circular dichroism absorption spectroscopy at an X-ray free electron laser
Daniel J. Higley, Konstantin Hirsch, Georgi L. Dakovski +25
X-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy using an X-ray free electron laser is demonstrated with spectra over the Fe L-edges. This new ultrafast time-resolved capabil…
Generation of high-frequency strain waves during femtosecond demagnetization of Fe/MgO films
T. Henighan, M. Trigo, S. Bonetti +22
We use femtosecond time-resolved hard x-ray scattering to detect coherent acoustic phonons excited during ultrafast laser demagnetization of bcc Fe films. We determine the lattice…
Correlation-driven insulator-metal transition in near-ideal vanadium dioxide films
A. X. Gray, J. Jeong, N. P. Aetukuri +17
We use polarization- and temperature-dependent x-ray absorption spectroscopy, in combination with photoelectron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and electronic transport measurements,…
Nanoscale confinement of all-optical switching in TbFeCo using plasmonic antennas
TianMin Liu, Tianhan Wang, Alexander H. Reid +17
All-optical switching (AOS) of magnetic domains by femtosecond laser pulses was first observed in the transition metal-rare earth (TM-RE) alloy GdFeCo1-5; this phenomenon demonstra…
