In the 60 years since the invention of the laser, the scientific community has developed numerous fields of research based on these bright, coherent light sources, including the …
The recent discovery of intrinsic ferromagnetism in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) crystals has opened up a new arena for spintronics, raising an opportunity of …
We employ real-time time-dependent density functional theory (rt-TDDFT) and ab initio nonadiabatic molecular dynamics (NAMD) to systematically investigate the ultrafast laser …
The discovery of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials provides an ideal testbed for manipulating the magnetic properties at the atomically thin and 2D limit. This review gives …
Irradiating solids with ultrashort laser pulses is known to initiate femtosecond timescale magnetization dynamics. However, sub-femtosecond spin dynamics have not yet been …
Although light is the fastest means to manipulate the interfacial spin injection and magnetic proximity related quantum properties of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic van der Waals …
Summary 2D ferromagnetic materials have been regarded as the promising candidates for the next-generation spintronics in the field of future information science and technology. In …
We measure the light-driven response of a magnetic multilayer structure made of thin alternating layers of cobalt and platinum at the few-femtosecond timescale. Using …
The direct manipulation of spins via light may provide a path toward ultrafast energy-efficient devices. However, distinguishing the microscopic processes that can occur during ultrafast …
