The interaction of subpicosecond laser pulses with magnetically ordered materials has
developed into a fascinating research topic in modern magnetism. From the discovery of …

This article reviews the current status of spin dynamics in semiconductors which has
achieved much progress in the recent years due to the fast growing field of semiconductor …

Coherent THz optical lattice and hybridized phonon–magnon modes are triggered by
femtosecond laser pulses in the antiferromagnetic van der Waals semiconductor FePS3 …

We experimentally demonstrate that the magnetization can be reversed in a reproducible
manner by a single 40 femtosecond circularly polarized laser pulse, without any applied …

This book emerged from a close collaboration of the authors which started in the fall of 2000.
Early that year one of us (JS) had joined the Stanford faculty after spending nearly 15 years …

The demand for ever-increasing density of information storage and speed of manipulation
has triggered an intense search for ways to control the magnetization of a medium by means …

The contribution that the technique of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) has made to the
understanding of the magnetic behaviour of ultrathin single films is reviewed. Experimental …

Laser-induced terahertz spin transport (TST) and ultrafast demagnetization (UDM) are
central but so far disconnected phenomena in femtomagnetism and terahertz spintronics …

The quest for ultrafast magnetic processes has triggered a new field of research—
femtomagnetism: using femtosecond laser pulses to demagnetize ferromagnetic metallic …

Laser pulses induce spin-selective charge flow that we show to generate dramatic changes
in the magnetic structure of materials, including a switching of magnetic order from …
