Element-selectively tracking ultrafast demagnetization process in Co/Pt multilayer thin films by the resonant magneto-optical Kerr effect

Element-selectively tracking ultrafast demagnetization process in Co/Pt multilayer thin films by the resonant magneto-optical Kerr effect

We examined the photo-induced dynamics of ferromagnetic Co/Pt thin films exhibiting perpendicular magnetic anisotropy by means of the resonant polar magneto-optical Kerr effect with element specificity. The investigation was conducted at Pt N6,7 and Co M2,3 edges using an x-ray free electron laser. The obtained results showed a clear element …
