Photon spin angular momentum driven magnetization dynamics in ferromagnet/heavy metal bilayers

S Iihama, K Ishibashi, S Mizukami - Journal of Applied Physics, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
Thin-film magnetization controlled by optical helicity has been recently reported. Although
circularly polarized light has spin angular momentum, helicity-dependent all-optical …

Interface-induced field-like optical spin torque in a ferromagnet/heavy metal heterostructure

S Iihama, K Ishibashi, S Mizukami - Nanophotonics, 2021 - degruyter.com
The manipulation of magnetization in a metallic ferromagnet by using optical helicity has
been much attracted attention for future opto-spintronic devices. The optical helicity–induced …

Theory of light-induced effective magnetic field in Rashba ferromagnets

A Qaiumzadeh, M Titov - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
Motivated by recent experiments on all-optical magnetization reversal in conductive
ferromagnetic thin films we use nonequilibrium formalism to calculate the effective magnetic …

[PDF][PDF] Effective Hamiltonian theory of anomalous optical responses induced by spin-orbit interaction

川口秀雄, カワグチヒデオ - 2018 - tokyo-metro-u.repo.nii.ac.jp
Spin-orbit interaction arising from the breaking of spatial-inversion symmetry induces
electromagnetic cross-correlation effects, resulting in anomalous optical responses. In …

[PDF][PDF] Theory of light-induced effective magnetic field in Rashba ferromagnets

A Qaiumzadeh Javinani, MJM Titov - 2016 - repository.ubn.ru.nl
The discovery of all-optical magnetization reversal [1, 2] has been broadly recognized as an
important step forward to ultra-fast opto-magnetic data recording and processing. The …
