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…
