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…
Coherent control of photomagnetic back-switching by double-pump laser pulses
T. Zalewski, L. Nowak, A. Stupakiewicz
The control of nonthermal, all-optical magnetization switching under the regime with an independent state of laser polarization opens up new opportunities for ultrafast magnetic re…
Ultrafast all-optical toggle writing of magnetic bits without relying on heat
T. Zalewski, A. Maziewski, A. V. Kimel +1
While in accordance with Curie's principle, one would intuitively expect that symmetry of the cause has to be found in the symmetry of the effect, ultrafast excitation of matter is…
Non-reciprocal coherent all-optical switching between magnetic multi-states
T. Zalewski, V. Ozerov, A. Maziewski +2
We present experimental and computational findings of the laser-induced non-reciprocal motion of magnetization during ultrafast photo-magnetic switching in garnets. We found distin…
