Magnetization dynamics induced by femtosecond XUV pulses

Caption

Fig. 1: Magnetization dynamics induced by femtosecond XUV pulses tuned to the Fe M3,2 resonance (54.1 eV) of FeGd with variable polarization (circular polarization with opposite helicities σ± and linear horizontal polarization) for two different excitation fluences. The helicity-dependent effect ΔM corresponds to the IFE-induced difference of the demagnetization amplitudes for σ±-excitation.
