Antiferromagnetic Switching in Mn${}_2$Au Using a Novel Laser Induced Optical Torque on Ultrafast Timescales

J. L. Ross, P-I. Gavriloaea, F. Freimuth +6

Efficient manipulation of the Néel vector in antiferromagnets can be induced by generation of spin orbit (SOT) or spin-transfer (STT) torques. Here we predict another possibility f…
