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 interaction of subpicosecond laser pulses with magnetically ordered materials has
developed into a fascinating research topic in modern magnetism. From the discovery of …

Pulsed-laser-induced quenching of ferromagnetic order has intrigued researchers since
pioneering works in the 1990s. It was reported that demagnetization in gadolinium proceeds …

We propose a semiclassical model for femtosecond laser-induced demagnetization due to
spin-polarized excited electron diffusion in the superdiffusive regime. Our approach treats …

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

Micromagnetics has been the method of choice to interpret experimental data in the area of
microscopic magnetism for several decades. In this article, we show how progress has been …

Using time-resolved single-shot pump-probe microscopy we unveil the mechanism and the
time scale of all-optical magnetization reversal by a single circularly polarized 100 fs laser …
