Ultrafast optically induced spin transfer in ferromagnetic alloys

The vision of using light to manipulate electronic and spin excitations in materials on their fundamental time and length scales requires new approaches in experiment and theory to observe and understand these excitations. The ultimate speed limit for all-optical manipulation requires control schemes for which the electronic or magnetic subsystems of the materials are coherently manipulated on the time scale of the laser excitation pulse. In our work, we provide experimental evidence of such a direct, ultrafast, and coherent spin transfer between two magnetic subsystems of an alloy of Fe and Ni. Our experimental findings are fully supported by time-dependent density functional theory simulations and, hence, suggest the possibility of coherently controlling spin dynamics on subfemtosecond time scales, i.e., the birth of the research area of attomagnetism.

Ferromagnetic-to-Paramagnetic Phase Transition of MnAs Studied by Calorimetry and Magnetic Measurements

Manganese monoarsenide samples have been prepared by the sealed-ampule technique and characterized by X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The hexagonal- to-orthorhombic phase transition of MnAs has been studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and magnetic measurements. The enthalpy and temperature range of the transition have been determined to be ΔH =–5.6 J/g and 312.5–319 K, respectively. The enthalpy and temperature range of the transition are influenced by the quality of the samples. The samples containing inclusions of the metastable, orthorhombic phase have a lower enthalpy and broader temperature range of the magnetostructural transformation of manganese monoarsenide. It has been demonstrated that DSC is an effective tool for assessing the quality of MnAs samples. Temperature dependences of specific magnetization and magnetic permeability for MnAs lend support to the DSC results. From these data, the Curie temperature of MnAs has been determined to be 40°C, in good agreement with previously reported data.

Reflexivity and Correlation of Magnetic States of Nanostructures in the Nb(70 nm)/Ni{sub 0.65}Cu{sub 0.35}(6.5 nm)/Si Ferromagnet–Superconductor Heterostructure

We have studied the Nb(70 nm)/Ni{sub 0.65}Cu{sub 0.35}(6.5 nm)/Si layered structure in the temperature range T = 1.5–10 K using polarized neutron reflectometry. The correlation of the states of magnetic structures is observed at temperature T = 9 K, which is slightly higher than the superconducting transition temperature T{sub c} = 8.5 K of the structure. At temperature T = 4 K, which is lower than T{sub c}, the effect of reflexivity of magnetic states existing at T = 9 K was observed.

Localized spin-wave resonance modes of ferromagnetic microstrips in the field of a magnetic probe

Some results of the micromagnetic modeling of forced magnetization oscillations in planar microstrips of NiFe with easy plane anisotropy and Co/Pt with perpendicular easy axis anisotropy in the field of a magnetic spherical probe are considered. It has been shown that the probe field provokes the appearance of a hedgehog–antivortex coupling state in the NiFe strips, due to its lateral components and a skyrmion magnetization state in the Co/Pt layer. These effects destroy spatial magnetization oscillations in the microstrips and lead to the appearance of additional resonances in the spectrum of oscillations corresponding to the modes localized in the probe field.
