We review and discuss the process of single-shot helicity-independent all-optical switching
of magnetization by which a single suitably-fast excitation, under the right conditions, toggles …

Understanding how a single laser pulse can toggle magnetization in a compensated 3 d
ferrimagnet is a critical problem in ultrafast magnetism. To resolve it, we test single-shot all …

Ferrimagnetic materials combine the advantages of the low magnetic moment of an
antiferromagnet and the ease of realizing magnetic reading of a ferromagnet. Recently, it …

Narrow-band terahertz emission from coherently excited spin precession in metallic
ferrimagnetic Mn 3-x Ga Heusler alloy nanofilms has been observed. The efficiency of the …

Second-harmonic generation (SHG) has emerged as a promising tool for detecting
electronic and magnetic structures in noncentrosymmetric materials, but 100% spin …

We show how a charge current through a single antiferromagnetic layer can excite and
control self-oscillations. Sustained oscillations with tunable amplitudes and frequencies are …

Magnetotransport is investigated in thin films of the half-metallic ferrimagnet Mn 2 Ru x Ga in
pulsed magnetic fields of up to 58 T. A nonvanishing Hall signal is observed over a broad …

Half-metallic fully compensated ferrimagnets (HM-FCFMs) constitute a special class of half-
metals exhibiting zero magnetization at zero temperature. While there have been a number …

The efficient production of spin-polarized currents at room temperature is fundamental to the
advancement of spintronics. Spin-filter materials—semiconductors with unequal band gaps …

The ruthenium content of half-metallic Mn 2 Ru x Ga thin films, with a biaxially strained
inverse Heusler structure, controls the ferrimagnetism that determines their magnetic and …
