The understanding of how spins move and can be manipulated at pico-and femtosecond
timescales has implications for ultrafast and energy-efficient data-processing and storage …

We review and discuss the process of single-shot helicity-independent all-optical switching
of magnetization by which a single suitably-fast excitation, under the right conditions, toggles …

The development of approaches that can efficiently control the magnetization of magnetic
materials is central to the creation of fast and low-power spintronic devices. Spin transfer …

Topological states of matter exhibit fascinating physics combined with an intrinsic stability. A
key challenge is the fast creation of topological phases, which requires massive …

Single-shot helicity-independent all-optical switching of magnetization in ferrimagnets
represents the fastest known approach for deterministic data recording. Recently, it was …

We investigate the spin dynamics driven by terahertz magnetic fields in epitaxial thin films of
cobalt in its three crystalline phases. The terahertz magnetic field generates a torque on the …

Ultrafast control of the magnetization in ps timescales by fs laser pulses offers an attractive
avenue for applications such as fast magnetic devices for logic and memory. However …

Optically induced intersite spin transfer (OISTR) promises manipulation of spin systems
within the ultimate time limit of laser excitation. Following its prediction, signatures of ultrafast …
