Differentiating Contributions of Electrons and Phonons to the Thermoreflectance Spectra of Gold
Kexin Liu, Xinping Shi, Frank Angeles +4
To better understand the many effects of temperature on the optical properties of metals, we experimentally and theoretically quantify the electron vs. phonon contributions to the…
Unifying femtosecond and picosecond single-pulse magnetic switching in GdFeCo
Florian Jakobs, Thomas Ostler, Charles-Henri Lambert +6
Many questions are still open regarding the physical mechanisms behind the magnetic switching in GdFeCo alloys by single optical pulses. Phenomenological models suggest a femtoseco…
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…
