Controlling Single-Pulse Magnetization Switching through Angular Momentum Reservoir Engineering

B. Kunyangyuen, G. Malinowski, D. Lacour +6

We report a systematic study of single pulse all optical helicity independent switching in CoGd bilayers, revealing that the magnetization reversal dynamics can be tuned over more…

Single-shot all-optical magnetization switching in in-plane magnetized magnetic tunnel junction

S. Geiskopf, J. Igarashi, G. Malinowski +6

Single pulse All Optical Helicity-Independent Switching is demonstrated in an in-plane magnetized magnetic tunnel junction. A toggle switching of the 2nm thick Co40Fe40B20 soft lay…

Energy-efficient picosecond spin-orbit torque magnetization switching in ferro- and ferrimagnetic films

Eva Díaz, Alberto Anadón, Pablo Olleros-Rodríguez +7

Electrical current pulses can be used to manipulate magnetization efficiently via spin-orbit torques (SOTs). Pulse durations as short as a few picoseconds have been used to switch…

Increasing TeraHertz spintronic emission with planar antennas

Matthias Pacé, Oleksandr Kovalenko, José Solano +3

Spintronic THz emitters, consisting of Ta/Co/Pt trilayers patterned into rectangles of lateral size in the 10 m range, have been integrated in planar electromagnetic antennas of…

Tailoring femtosecond hot-electron pulses for ultrafast spin manipulation

Nicolas Bergeard, Michel Hehn, Karel Carva +3

We have measured the hot-electron induced demagnetization of a [Co/Pt]2 multilayer in M(x nm)/Cu(100 nm)/[Co(0.6 nm)/Pt(1.1 nm)]2 samples depending on the nature of the capping lay…

All-optical control of ferromagnetic thin films and nanostructures

Charles-Henri Lambert, Stephane Mangin, B. S. D. Ch. S. Varaprasad +8

The interplay of light and magnetism has been a topic of interest since the original observations of Faraday and Kerr where magnetic materials affect the light polarization. While…
