Ultrafast Spin Dynamics and THz Spintronics

Abstract

Ultrafast magnetization manipulation by ultrafast lasers is an indispensable tool for both basic and applied research, with many surprises since the field was started twenty years ago [1]. The dynamics of the response depends on the energy transfer from the laser excited electrons to the spins within the first femtoseconds. This determines the speed of the ultrafast magnetization. A special material of interest for magnetic storage are FePt nanoparticles (Fig. 1 (a)). In a seminal experiment, all optical writing via the laser pulse helicity using a femtosecond laser pulse was demonstrated for FePt in a magnetic hard disc media by Lambert et al. in Science 2014 [2]. Completely surprisingly, the mechanism remained unclear and it opened many questions about the extension of possibilities of all optical writing as a general mechanism. I will review these recent developments that may lead to address an individual nanosized magnetic element in the far future all optically, for writing magnetic memory and memory storage [3].
