We review the phenomenology of light-induced ultrafast magnetization dynamics, with
emphasis on metallic compounds. The interaction of femtosecond laser pulses with …

The interaction between ultrafast lasers and magnetic materials is an appealing topic. It not
only involves interesting fundamental questions that remain inconclusive and hence need …

Plasmonics represents a unique approach to confine and enhance electromagnetic
radiation well below the diffraction limit, bringing a huge potential for novel applications, for …

Three-dimensional strontium ruthenate (SrRuO 3) is an itinerant ferromagnet that features
Weyl points acting as sources of emergent magnetic fields, anomalous Hall conductivity, and …

Time-resolved magneto-optical imaging reveals that the dynamics of the helicity-dependent
all-optical switching (HD-AOS) of Co/Pt ferromagnetic multilayers occurs on the time scales …

A single femto-second optical pulse can fully reverse the magnetization of a film within
picoseconds. Such fast operation hugely increases the range of application of magnetic …

All-optical helicity-dependent switching in ferromagnetic Co/Pt multilayers is investigated
using magneto-optical microscopy and anomalous Hall effect measurements. A state …

Magnetoplasmonics is an emerging interdisciplinary field that studies the interaction
between magnetism and plasmonics, and has great promise for the development of novel …

We use ab initio real-time time-dependent density functional theory to investigate the effect
of optical and extreme ultraviolet (XUV) circularly polarized femtosecond pulses on the …

We demonstrate that magnetization reversal in a ferromagnetic Pt/Co/Pt stack can be
induced by a single femtosecond laser pulse. We find that the size of the switched spot is …
