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…
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…
The role of electron and phonon temperatures in the helicity-independent all-optical switching of GdFeCo
Jon Gorchon, Richard B. Wilson, Yang Yang +6
Ultrafast optical heating of the electrons in ferrimagnetic metals can result in all-optical switching (AOS) of the magnetization. Here we report quantitative measurements of the t…
Model for multi-shot all-thermal all-optical switching in ferromagnets
Jon Gorchon, Yang Yang, Jeffrey Bokor
All optical magnetic switching (AOS) is a recently observed rich and puzzling phenomenon that offers promis- ing technological applications. However, fundamental understanding of t…
