Deterministic all-optical switching of synthetic ferrimagnets using single femtosecond laser pulses

We experimentally demonstrate single-pulse all-optical switching in Pt/Co/Gd stacks using linearly polarized laser pulses. This shows that thermal single-pulse switching is not limited to ferrimagnetic alloys, but is also possible in ferrimagnetic multilayers that are highly suitable for future appl...
