We review the phenomenology of light-induced ultrafast magnetization dynamics, with
emphasis on metallic compounds. The interaction of femtosecond laser pulses with …

The interaction between ultrafast lasers and magnetic materials is an appealing topic. It not
only involves interesting fundamental questions that remain inconclusive and hence need …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals magnets provide new opportunities for control
of magnetism at the nanometre scale via mechanisms such as strain, voltage and the …

Building upon the success and relevance of the 2014 Magnetism Roadmap, this 2017
Magnetism Roadmap edition follows a similar general layout, even if its focus is naturally …

We experimentally demonstrate single-pulse all-optical switching in Pt/Co/Gd stacks using
linearly polarized laser pulses. This shows that thermal single-pulse switching is not limited …

Magnetic skyrmions are topologically nontrivial spin textures which hold great promise as
stable information carriers in spintronic devices at the nanoscale. One of the major …

All‐optical ultrafast magnetization switching in magnetic material thin film without the
assistance of an applied external magnetic field is explored for future ultrafast and energy …

Current‐induced magnetization manipulation is a key issue for spintronic applications. This
manipulation must be fast, deterministic, and nondestructive in order to function in device …

Sub-picosecond magnetisation manipulation via femtosecond optical pum** has attracted
wide attention ever since its original discovery in 1996. However, the spatial evolution of the …

We investigate spin-orbit torque (SOT)-induced switching in rare-earth-transition metal
ferrimagnetic alloys using W/CoTb bilayers. The switching current is found to vary …
