Analysis of ultrafast magnetization switching dynamics in exchange-coupled ferromagnet-ferrimagnet heterostructures
Debanjan Polley, Jyotirmoy Chatterjee, Hyejin Jang +1
Magnetization switching in ferromagnets has so far been limited to the current-induced spin-orbit-torque effects. Recent observation of helicity-independent all-optical magnetizati…
Growth optimization and device integration of narrow-bandgap graphene nanoribbons
Gabriela Borin Barin, Qiang Sun, Marco Di Giovannantonio +26
The electronic, optical and magnetic properties of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) can be engineered by controlling their edge structure and width with atomic precision through bottom-…
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…
Role of Element-Specific Damping on the Ultrafast, Helicity-Independent All-Optical Switching Dynamics in Amorphous (Gd,Tb)Co Thin Films
Alejandro Ceballos, Akshay Pattabi, Amal El-Ghazaly +9
Ultrafast control of the magnetization in ps timescales by fs laser pulses offers an attractive avenue for applications such as fast magnetic devices for logic and memory. However,…
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…
