Ultrafast Magnetization Reversal by Picosecond Electrical Pulses
Yang Yang, R. B. Wilson, Jon Gorchon +3
The field of spintronics involves the study of both spin and charge transport in solid state devices with a view toward increasing their functionality and efficiency. Alternatively…
Electron-phonon interaction during optically induced ultrafast magnetization dynamics of Au/GdFeCo bilayers
Richard B Wilson, Charles-Henri Lambert, Jon Gorchon +3
The temperature evolution of GdFeCo electrons following optical heating plays a key role in all optical switching of GdFeCo and is primarily governed by the strength of coupling be…
Ultrafast Magnetic Switching of GdFeCo with Electronic Heat Currents
R. B. Wilson, Jon Gorchon, Yang Yang +3
We report the magnetic response of Au/GdFeCo bilayers to optical irradiation of the Au surface. For bilayers with Au thickness greater than 50 nm, the great majority of energy is a…
Electric Current Induced Ultrafast Demagnetization
R. B. Wilson, Yang Yang, Jon Gorchon +3
We report the magnetic response of Co/Pt multilayers to picosecond electrical heating. Using photoconductive Auston switches, we generate electrical pulses with 5.5 picosecond dura…
Two types of all-optical magnetization switching mechanisms using femtosecond laser pulses
M. S. El Hadri, P. Pirro, C. -H. Lambert +6
Magnetization manipulation in the absence of an external magnetic field is a topic of great interest, since many novel physical phenomena need to be understood and promising new ap…
