Single-pulse strain-induced precessional dynamics of magnetization in Co-doped iron garnet
Héloïse Damas, Carl S. Davies, Tomasz Zalewski +4
Ultrafast control of magnetization through lattice excitation provides a route to manipulating magnetic order on short timescales, yet the role of transient strain in driving magne…
A crystal-field route to THz-driven magnetization
T. Zalewski, M. S. Mrudul, Y. Lee +5
Light carries angular momentum, but the microscopic pathways that transform it into magnetization remain elusive. Here we establish that crystal-field excitations, historically vie…
Optical switching of antiferromagnetic domains by nonreciprocal heat current
Takeshi Hayashida, Shunsuke Izumikawa, Kenta Kimura +2
What distinguishes front from back? In physics, such directionality emerges only when an underlying symmetry is broken. Antiferromagnets that inherently break both space-inversion…
Photo-induced switching of magnetisation in the epsilon-near-zero regime
Héloïse Damas, Carl S. Davies, Petr M. Vetoshko +3
The possibility of controlling spins using ultrashort light and strain pulses has triggered intense discussions about the mechanisms responsible for magnetic re-ordering. All-optic…
Spectroscopic probe of ultrafast magnetization dynamics in the extreme ultraviolet spectral range
Johanna Richter, Somnath Jana, Robert Behrends +6
The development of spectroscopic techniques in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) spectral range has significantly advanced the understanding of ultrafast interactions in magnetic syste…
