Laser control of ferro- and antiferromagnetism — •Wolfgang Hübner1, Guoping Zhang2, and Mikolaj Trzeciecki11Max-Planck Institut für Mikrostrukturphysik, Weinberg 2, D-06120 Halle — 2Department of Physics and Astronomy, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996-1200

Conventional magnetization dynamics, such as precession, coherent rotation as well as domain-wall motion, occurs on the nanosecond time scale and results from spin-lattice, magnetic dipole and Zeeman, and spin-spin interactions. By contrast, recent observations of magnetic subpicosecond dynamics rely on different mechanisms:
(i) Dephasing of quantum states occurs within 10 to 20 fs and has a magnetic contribution that can be observed in linear as well as nonlinear pump-probe experiments in both ferro-[1] and antiferromagnets.
(ii) Demagnetization and spin manipulation by magnetic population dynamics results from the combined action of the laser pump field and spin-orbit coupling within times that can be as short as 20 to 80 femtoseconds[2].
We discuss these two theoretical predictions for Ni and NiO as well as their possible experimental verification.
