Photoinduced magneto-optical Kerr effect and ultrafast spin dynamics in CdTe/CdMgTe quantum wells during excitation by shaped laser pulses

Ultrafast magnetization dynamics of Gd(0001): Bulk vs. surface

Ultrafast laser-induced demagnetization of Gd(0001) has been investigated by magneto-induced optical second harmonic generation and the magneto-optical Kerr effect which facilitate a comparison of surface and bulk dynamics. We observe pronounced differences in the transient changes of the surface and bulk sensitive magneto-optical signals which we attribute to transfer of optically excited, spi...

Simultaneous measurements of terahertz emission and magneto-optical Kerr effect for resolving ultrafast laser-induced demagnetization dynamics

Longitudinal Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect in Ce:YIG Thin Films Incorporating Gold Nanoparticles

We report an experimental study on optical and magneto-optical properties of Cesubstituted yttrium iron garnet thin films incorporating gold nanoparticles. Au nanoparticles were formed by heating Au thin film on cubic quartz and garnet substrate in vacuum chamber and a Ce:YIG layer was deposited on them by the aid of Pulsed laser deposition method. A large enhancement of the longitudinal Kerr e...
