Demagnetization by rapid spin transport

The fact that an ultrashort laser pulse is capable of demagnetizing a ferromagnetic layer in a jiffy has been well-known since approximately 1996. What we don't yet understand, however, is how exactly this demagnetization ...

First Soft X-rays Explore Ultrafast Magnetic Behaviors

(PhysOrg.com) -- The first user experiments on the Soft X-ray instrument at the Linac Coherent Light Source wrapped up last week. Research led by Andreas Scherz, a physicist at the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy ...
