This Perspective surveys the state-of-the-art and future prospects of science and technology
employing nanoconfined light (nanophotonics and nanoplasmonics) in combination with …

Femtosecond laser pulses can be used to induce ultrafast changes of the magnetization in
magnetic materials. However, one of the unsolved questions is that of conservation of the …

X-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy using an X-ray free electron laser is
demonstrated with spectra over the Fe L3, 2-edges. The high brightness of the X-ray free …

Since the discovery of all-optical magnetization switching in rare-earth transition-metal
alloys the underlying magnetization dynamics of multisublattice magnets has become a hot …

In recent years there has been an intense interest in understanding the microscopic
mechanism of thermally induced magnetization switching driven by a femtosecond laser …

The temperature dependence of magnetoresistance is investigated in ferrimagnetic
GdFeCo/Pt heterostructures. An anomalous Hall effect (AHE) shows a monotonic behavior …

Ultrafast magnetization dynamics induced by femtosecond laser pulses have been
measured in ferrimagnetic Co 0.8 Gd 0.2, Co 0.74 Tb 0.26, and Co 0.86 Tb 0.14 alloys …

We developed an ultrafast time-resolved magneto-optical (MO) imaging system with several
millidegree resolution of light polarization angle, 100 fs time-resolution, and a micrometer …

Ultrafast laser‐induced dynamics in a ferrimagnetic gadolinium iron cobalt (Gd/FeCo)
multilayer with a magnetization compensation temperature of TM= 320 K is studied at room …

We report the ultrafast,(sub) picosecond reduction of the antiferromagnetic order of the
insulating NiO thin film in a Pt/NiO bilayer. This reduction of the antiferromagnetic order is …
