Laser-induced electron dynamics and surface modification in ruthenium thin films
Fedor Akhmetov, Igor Milov, Sergey Semin +7
We performed the experimental and theoretical study of the heating and damaging of ruthenium thin films induced by femtosecond laser irradiation. Results of an optical pump-probe t…
Helicity-independent all-optical switching of magnetization in ferrimagnetic alloys
C. S. Davies, J. H. Mentink, A. V. Kimel +2
We review and discuss the process of single-shot helicity-independent all-optical switching of magnetization by which a single suitably-ultrafast excitation, under the right condit…
Magnetization reversal of a ferromagnetic Pt/Co/Pt film by helicity dependent absorption of visible to near-infrared laser pulses
Kihiro T. Yamada, Carl S. Davies, Fuyuki Ando +5
The practical difficulty in distinguishing the impact of magnetic circular dichroism and the inverse Faraday effect fuels intense debates over which mechanism predominantly drives…
