In this work, we propose a multiphysics approach to simulate all-optical helicity-dependent
switching induced by the local hot spots of plasmonic nanostructures. Due to the plasmonic …

Synthetic ferrimagnets based on Co and Gd bear promise for directly bridging the gap
between volatile information in the photonic domain and nonvolatile information in the …

By ultrafast x‐ray diffraction (UXRD), it is shown that the laser‐induced magnetostructural
phase transition in FeRh nanoislands proceeds faster and more complete than in …

The magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE), as one of the magneto-optical effects, exhibits
polarization change upon reflection that can be used to explore the internal information of …

The parallel or antiparallel arrangement of electron spins plays a pivotal role in determining
the properties of a physical system. To meet the demands for innovative technological …

We experimentally demonstrate single pulse toggle switching of the magnetization of
GdFeCo disks with perpendicular to film plane anisotropy, which diameter ranges from 3 μm …
