Imaging Non-Local Magnetization Dynamics
(2016) In Synchrotron Radiation News 29(3). p.26-31- Abstract
Many fundamental processes in magnetism take place on a nanometer length and sub-picosecond time scale. An important example of such phenomena in magnetism is ultrafast, spin-polarized transport of laser-excited hot electrons, which is now being recognized as playing a crucial role for novel spintronic devices and for optically induced magnetic switching. Recent experimental examples include the demonstration of all-optical helicity dependent control of spin-polarized currents at interfaces [1], the design of novel and efficient terahertz emitters [2], and nanoscale spin reversal in chemically heterogeneous GdFeCo driven by non-local transfer of angular momentum [3]. In particular, for advanced information technologies with bit... (More)

In particular, for advanced information technologies with bit densities already exceeding 1 terabit per square inch with bit cell dimensions of (15 × 38 nm2) [4], it is of fundamental importance to understand and eventually control the mechanisms responsible for optically induced spin dynamics on the nanoscale.
