Synthesis and Transfer of Freestanding Strain-Engineered Vertically Aligned Nanocomposite Thin Films
Carlos RodrÃguez Cortéz, Moussa Mebarki, Bruno Berini +11
The recent development of freestanding oxide thin films opens up exciting opportunities for the design of novel heterostructures with enhanced functionalities. Here, we explore the…
Depth-resolved magnetization dynamics in Fe thin films after ultrafast laser excitation
Valentin Chardonnet, Marcel Hennes, Romain Jarrier +12
We performed time-resolved x-ray resonant magnetic reflectivity measurements on a laser-excited ferromagnetic Fe thin film to simultaneously probe the transient structural and magn…
Soft x-rays with Orbital Angular Momentum for resonant scattering experiments at the SOLEIL synchrotron
Pietro Carrara, Franck Fortuna, Renaud Delaunay +15
The paper presents a comprehensive description of a new setup implemented and commissioned at the SEXTANTS beamline of the SOLEIL synchrotron for absorption and scattering experime…
Resonant Self-Diffraction of Femtosecond Extreme Ultraviolet Pulses in Cobalt
Alexei A. Maznev, Wonseok Lee, Scott K. Cushing +14
Self-diffraction is a non-collinear four-wave mixing technique well-known in optics. We explore self-diffraction in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) range, taking advantage of intense…
Near- and mid-infrared excitation of ultrafast demagnetization in a cobalt multilayer system
Katherine Légaré, Guillaume Barrette, Laurent Giroux +10
In the last few decades, ultrafast demagnetization elicited by ultrashort laser pulses has been the subject of a large body of work that aims to better understand and control this…
