RKKY Exchange Bias Mediated Ultrafast All-Optical Switching of a Ferromagnet

Journal Article Chatterjee, Jyotirmoy ; Polley, Debanjan ; Pattabi, Akshay ; ... - Advanced Functional Materials

Abstract The discovery of ultrafast helicity‐independent all‐optical switching (HI‐AOS), as well as picosecond all‐electrical switching of a ferrimagnet, has inspired the ultrafast spintronics community to explore ultrafast switching of a ferromagnet to achieve practical ultrafast storage and memory devices. Two explored mechanisms of HI‐AOS of a ferromagnet in ferromagnet‐ferrimagnet heterostructure are: a) exploiting the indirect exchange coupling with and b) injection of non‐local spin current originated from a switching ferrimagnet. In this manuscript, exchange mediated HI‐AOS of a Ruderman–Kittel–Kasuya–Yosida (RKKY) exchange coupled “ [Co/Pt]‐multilayers/Pt spacer/CoGd ” heterostructure is demonstrated. The authors have measured layer‐resolved static magnetic properties, single‐shot HI‐AOS, andmore »« less

Microscopic model for all optical switching in ferromagnets

Journal Article Cornelissen, T. D. ; Córdoba, R. ; Koopmans, B., E-mail: b.koopmans@tue.nl - Applied Physics Letters

The microscopic mechanism behind the all optical switching (AOS) in ferromagnets has triggered intense scientific debate. Here, the microscopic three-temperature model is utilized to describe AOS in a perpendicularly magnetized ferromagnetic Co/Pt system. We demonstrate that AOS in such a ferromagnet can be explained with the Inverse Faraday Effect (IFE). The influence of the strength and lifetime of the IFE induced field pulse on the switching process are investigated. We found that because of strong spin-orbit coupling, the minimal lifetime of the IFE needed to obtain switching is of the order of 0.1 ps, which is shorter than previously assumed.more »« less

Single shot ultrafast all optical magnetization switching of ferromagnetic Co/Pt multilayers

Journal Article Gorchon, Jon ; Lambert, Charles-Henri ; Yang, Yang ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

A single femto-second optical pulse can fully reverse the magnetization of a film within picoseconds. Such fast operation hugely increases the range of application of magnetic devices. However, so far, this type of ultrafast switching has been restricted to ferri-magnetic GdFeCo films. In contrast, all optical switching of ferro-magnetic films require multiple pulses, thereby being slower and less energy efficient. In this study, we demonstrate magnetization switching induced by a single laser pulse in various ferromagnetic Co/Pt multilayers grown on GdFeCo, by exploiting the exchange coupling between the two magnetic films. Table-top depth-sensitive time-resolved magneto-optical experiments show that the Co/Ptmore »« less

Is perpendicular magnetic anisotropy essential to all-optical ultrafast spin reversal in ferromagnets?

Journal Article Zhang, G. P. ; Bai, Y. H. ; George, Thomas F. - Journal of Physics. Condensed Matter

All-optical spin reversal presents a new opportunity for spin manipulations, free of a magnetic field. Most of all-optical-spin-reversal ferromagnets are found to have a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), but it has been unknown whether PMA is necessary for spin reversal. Here we theoretically investigate magnetic thin films with either PMA or in-plane magnetic anisotropy (IMA). Our results show that spin reversal in IMA systems is possible, but only with a longer laser pulse and within a narrow laser parameter region. Spin reversal does not show a strong helicity dependence where the left- and right-circularly polarized light lead to the identicalmore »« less

An attempt to simulate laser-induced all-optical spin switching in a crystalline ferrimagnet

Journal Article Zhang, G. P. ; Meadows, Robert ; Tamayo, Antonio ; ... - AIP Advances

Interest in all-optical spin switching (AOS) is growing rapidly. The recent discovery of AOS in Mn₂RuGa provides a much needed clean case of crystalline ferrimagnets for theoretical simulations. Here, we attempt to simulate it using the state-of-the-art first-principles method combined with the Heisenberg exchange model. We first compute the spin moments at two inequivalent manganese sites and then feed them into our model Hamiltonian. We employ an ultrafast laser pulse to switch the spins. We find that there is a similar optimal laser field amplitude to switch spins. However, we find that the exchange interaction has a significant effect onmore »« less
