Accelerated ultrafast demagnetization of an interlayer-exchange-coupled Co/Mn/Co trilayer
Jendrik Gördes, Ivar Kumberg, Chowdhury S. Awsaf +7
We investigate the ultrafast magnetization dynamics of an interlayer-exchange-coupled Co/Mn/Co trilayer system after excitation with an ultrafast optical pump. We probe element- an…
X-ray View of Light-Induced Spin Reorientation in TmFeO: Direct Observation of a 90 Néel Vector Rotation
Somnath Jana, Ronny Knut, Dima Afanasiev +8
Using time-resolved X-ray magnetic linear dichroism in reflection, we provide a direct probe of the Néel vector dynamics in TmFeO on a ultrafast timescale. Our measurements re…
Non-Equilibrium Multiplet Excitations probed by the Branching Ratio in X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy
Tim Amrhein, Beyza Salantur, Ralph Püttner +6
We show that ultrafast electronic multiplet transitions in terbium metal are manifested by changes in the relative spectral weight of the and X-ray absorption reso…
First experiments with ultrashort, circularly polarized soft X-ray pulses at FLASH2
S. Marotzke, D. Gupta, R. -P. Wang +23
Time-resolved absorption spectroscopy as well as magnetic circular dichroism with circularly polarized soft X-rays (XAS and XMCD) are powerful tools to probe electronic and magneti…
Femtosecond charge and spin dynamics in CoPt alloys
Martin Pavelka, Simon Marotzke, Ru-Pan Wang +19
The use of advanced X-ray sources plays a key role in the study of dynamic processes in magnetically ordered materials. The progress in X-ray free electron lasers enables the direc…
Tuning of the ultrafast demagnetization by ultrashort spin polarized currents in multi-sublattice ferrimagnets
Deeksha Gupta, Maryna Pankratova, Matthias Riepp +11
Femtosecond laser pulses can be used to induce ultrafast changes of the magnetization in magnetic materials. Several microscopic mechanisms have been proposed to explain the observ…
