Ultrafast Double Pulse All-Optical Reswitching of a Ferrimagnet

All-optical reswitching has been investigated in the half-metallic Heusler ferrimagnet Mn_{2}Ru_{0.9}Ga, where Mn atoms occupy two inequivalent sites in the XA-type structure. The effect of a second 200 fs, 800 nm laser pulse that follows the first pump pulse, when both are above the threshold for s...

description All-optical reswitching has been investigated in the half-metallic Heusler ferrimagnet Mn_{2}Ru_{0.9}Ga, where Mn atoms occupy two inequivalent sites in the XA-type structure. The effect of a second 200 fs, 800 nm laser pulse that follows the first pump pulse, when both are above the threshold for switching, is studied as a function of t_{12}, the time between them. Aims were to determine the minimum time needed for reswitching and to identify the physical mechanisms involved. The time trajectory of the switching process on a plot of sublattice angular momentum, S^{4a} vs S^{4c}, is in three stages; when t10  ps.
