Recently it has been shown that not only GdFeCo alloys exhibit single-pulse helicity-independent all-optical switching (HI-AOS), but that this effect is also seen in Co/Gd bilayers. However, there have been no reports on the explicit time…
Magnetization reversal in exchange-spring magnet films has been investigated by a First Order Reversal Curve (FORC) technique and vector magnetometry. In Fe/epitaxial-SmCo films, the reversal proceeds by a reversible rotation of the Fe soft…
We study the precessional switching of the magnetization in microscopic spin valve cells induced by ultra short in-plane hard axis magnetic field pulses. Stable and highly efficient switching is monitored following pulses as short as 140 ps…

The quest to improve density, speed and energy efficiency of magnetic memory storage has led to exploration of new ways of optically manipulating magnetism at the ultrafast time scale, in particular in ferrimagnetic alloys. While…
By comparing femtosecond laser-pulse-induced spin dynamics in the surface state of the rare earth metals Gd and Tb we show that the spin polarization of the valence states in both materials decays with significantly different time constants…
As an alternative to conventional magnetic field, the effective spin-orbit field in transition metals, derived from the Rashba field experienced by itinerant electrons confined in a spatial inversion asymmetric plane through the s-d…
