This article reviews static and dynamic interfacial effects in magnetism, focusing on
interfacially driven magnetic effects and phenomena associated with spin-orbit coupling and …

The observation of magnetic domains by magneto-optical microscopy, based on the Kerr
and the Faraday effect, is one of the most prominent techniques for the visualization of …

In this review, we discuss the different results demonstrating deterministic magnetization
switching using ultra-fast laser pulses, named all-optical switching (AOS). The response of …

The reciprocal interaction between spins and light has long been one of the main topics in
fundamental studies of magnetism. Recent developments of nanolitography and other …

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 …

To know the properties of a particle or a wave, one should measure how its energy changes
with its momentum. The relation between them is called the dispersion relation, which …

Monitoring of the spatially resolved exciton spin dynamics in two-dimensional
semiconductors has revealed the formation of a spatial pattern and long-range transport of …

Using spin-wave tomography (SWaT), we have investigated the excitation and the
propagation dynamics of optically excited magnetoelastic waves, ie, hybridized modes of …

Single-shot real-time femtophotography is indispensable for imaging ultrafast dynamics
during their times of occurrence. Despite their advantages over conventional multi-shot …

A phase-controlled spin wave was non-thermally generated in bismuth-doped rare-earth
iron garnet by linearly polarized light pulses. We controlled the initial phase of the spin wave …
