Polarized phonons carry angular momentum in ultrafast demagnetization

S. R. Tauchert et al.

Summary: The research shows that when a nickel film is subjected to ultrashort laser pulses, it loses its magnetic order within femtosecond timescales and forms a unique population of anisotropic high-frequency phonons. These results highlight the general importance of polarized phonons in non-equilibrium dynamics and phase transitions.

Current-Induced Spin Torques on Single GdFeCo Magnetic Layers

David Cespedes-Berrocal et al.

Summary: Spintronics utilizes spin-orbit coupling to produce spin currents and torques, often using heavy metals with large SOC. A new material architecture is introduced, demonstrating strong current-induced torques on ferrimagnetic layers due to Gd 5d states and interface engineering. This platform offers new opportunities for self-torquing single magnetic layers and generating spin currents.

Summary: The study demonstrates an ultrafast microscopy based on high-harmonic radiation for direct imaging of ultrafast phenomena and capturing femtosecond spin dynamics at the nanoscale. Real-space magnetic imaging allows for observation of local magnetization dynamics, with implications for studying non-equilibrium magnetic evolution. The ultrafast imaging technique provides high spatio-temporal resolution, offering potential applications in magnetism, phase transitions, and carrier dynamics.

Exchange-Striction Driven Ultrafast Nonthermal Lattice Dynamics in NiO

Y. W. Windsor et al.

Summary: The study investigates ultrafast lattice dynamics in NiO using femtosecond electron diffraction, identifying a nonthermal lattice state with preferential displacement of O compared to Ni ions. This nonthermal state occurs within approximately 0.3 ps and lasts for 25 ps, highlighting the role of spin-lattice coupling in achieving ultrafast control of spin order.

Spin-Orbit Coupling in Single-Layer Ferrimagnets: Direct Observation of Spin-Orbit Torques and Chiral Spin Textures

Sachin Krishnia et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the presence of spin-orbit coupling and inversion asymmetry effects in a single Gd-Fe-Co ferrimagnetic layer, even without a heavy-metal interface. The effects were quantified using electric transport measurements and observed using Brillouin light-scattering measurement technique and x-ray photoemission electron microscopy. It was also found that these effects could be optimized by varying the thickness of Gd-Fe-Co or in combination with interfacial effects.

Valentin Chardonnet et al.

Summary: Various models have been developed to explain the ultrafast quenching of magnetization following femtosecond optical excitation, categorized into local or non-local transfer of angular momentum, and the technique of time-resolved x-ray resonant magnetic reflectivity has been demonstrated for this purpose at the FLASH2 free-electron laser.
