Rewriting the Rules of Magnetism: How Laser Pulses Could Redefine Data Storage
Two X-ray laser pulses interfere on the surface of a ferrimagnetic GdFe alloy, leading to a lateral modulation of the electron temperatures, a reduction of the local magnetization and all-optical switching of the magnetization. In this fashion, data bits …
