| Popis: | Terahertz (THz) light pulses can be used for an ultrafast coherent manipulation of the magnetization. Driving the magnetization at THz frequencies is currently the fastest way of writing magnetic information in ferromagnets. Using time-resolved resonant magnetic scattering, we gain new insights to the THz-driven coherent magnetization dynamics on nanometer length scales. We observe ultrafast demagnetization and coherent magnetization oscillations that are governed by a time-dependent damping. This damping is determined by the interplay of lattice heating and magnetic anisotropy reduction revealing an upper speed limit for THz-induced magnetization switching. We show that in the presence of nanometer-sized magnetic domains, the ultrafast magnetization oscillations are associated with a correlated beating of the domain walls. The overall domain structure thereby remains largely unaffected which highlights the applicability of THz-induced switching on the nanoscale. Comment: 10 pages, 8 figures and 54 references |
