State-resolved ultrafast charge and spin dynamics in [Co/Pd] multilayers
Loïc Le Guyader, Daniel J. Higley, Matteo Pancaldi +17
We use transient absorption spectroscopy with circularly polarized x-rays to detect laser-excited hole states below the Fermi level and compare their dynamics with that of unoccupi…
Ultrafast modification of the electronic structure of a correlated insulator
O. Grånäs I. Vaskivskyi, X. Wang, P. Thunström +25
A non-trivial balance between Coulomb repulsion and kinematic effects determines the electronic structure of correlated electron materials. The use electromagnetic fields strong en…
Distinguishing Local and non-Local Demagnetization in Ferromagnetic FePt Nanoparticles
Patrick W. Granitzka, Alexander H. Reid, Jerome Hurst +21
Time-resolved coherent X-ray diffraction is used to measure the spatially resolved magnetization structure within FePt nanoparticles during laser-induced ultrafast demagnetization.…
Ultrafast X-Ray Induced Changes of the Electronic and Magnetic Response of Solids Due to Valence Electron Redistribution
Daniel J. Higley, Alex H. Reid, Zhao Chen +13
We report a novel mechanism, consisting of redistribution of valence electrons near the Fermi level, during interactions of intense femtosecond X-ray pulses with a Co/Pd multilayer…
Magnetic switching in granular FePt layers promoted by near-field laser enhancement
Patrick W. Granitzka, Emmanuelle Jal, Loïc Le Guyader +20
Light-matter interaction at the nanoscale in magnetic materials is a topic of intense research in view of potential applications in next-generation high-density magnetic recording.…
Beyond a phenomenological description of magnetostriction
A. H. Reid, X. Shen, P. Maldonado +28
We use ultrafast x-ray and electron diffraction to disentangle spin-lattice coupling of granular FePt in the time domain. The reduced dimensionality of single-crystalline FePt nano…
Femtosecond X-ray magnetic circular dichroism absorption spectroscopy at an X-ray free electron laser
Daniel J. Higley, Konstantin Hirsch, Georgi L. Dakovski +25
X-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy using an X-ray free electron laser is demonstrated with spectra over the Fe L-edges. This new ultrafast time-resolved capabil…
Irreversible transformation of ferromagnetic ordered stripe domains in single-shot IR pump - resonant X-ray scattering probe experiments
Nicolas Bergeard, Stefan Schaffert, Víctor López-Flores +21
The evolution of a magnetic domain structure upon excitation by an intense, femtosecond Infra-Red (IR) laser pulse has been investigated using single-shot based time-resolved reson…
