Abstract
We report on the dramatic ultrafast photo-enhancement of ferromagnetism on a 100 picosecond timescale in ion-implanted semiconductor GaMnAs via photoexcited transient carriers. This non-thermal, transient cooperative magnetic process surprisingly quenches at low temperatures, significantly bellow the Curie temperature.
