The influence of thermal excitations on magnetic materials is a topic of increasing relevance
in the theory of magnetism. The Landau–Lifshitz–Bloch equation describes magnetisation …

Magnetic phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and indispensable for modern science and
technology, but it is notoriously difficult to change the magnetic order of a material in a rapid …

This year the discovery of femtosecond demagnetization by laser pulses is 20 years old. For
the first time, this milestone work by Bigot and coworkers gave insight directly into the time …

The vision of using light to manipulate electronic and spin excitations in materials on their
fundamental time and length scales requires new approaches in experiment and theory to …

Optical manipulation of magnetization with femtosecond laser pulses has opened a new
paradigm shift in magnetization and spin dynamics. Since the very first demonstration of …

Understanding how the electronic band structure of a ferromagnetic material is modified
during laser-induced demagnetization on femtosecond time scales has been a long …

Magnetic circular dichroism in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) spectral range is a powerful
technique for element-specific probing of magnetization in multicomponent magnetic alloys …

The influence of possible magnetic inertia effects has recently drawn attention in ultrafast
magnetization dynamics and switching. Here we derive rigorously a description of inertia in …

Handbook of Magnetic Materials, Volume 26, covers the expansion of magnetism over the
last few decades and its applications in research, notably the magnetism of several classes …

We bridge an essential knowledge gap on the understanding of all-optical ultrafast switching
in ferrimagnets, namely, the connection between atomistic spin dynamics methods and …
