Formation of transient magnetization depth profiles

Caption

Fig.2: Formation of transient magnetization depth profiles within a laser-excited heterostructure consisting of a ferrimagnetic iron-gadolinium (GdFe, shaded red) layer between adjacent tantalum (Ta, shaded green) and platinum (Pt, shaded blue) layers. (a) Time-resolved TMOKE spectra (dots) recorded at different times (picoseconds, ps) after the IR laser pulses hit the sample with different intensities (black, blue, green). The experimental data is fitted with high accuracy by magnetic scattering simulations (lines). (b) Magnetization depth profiles within the GdFe layer retrieved from the simulations.
