We have investigated the time evolution of the magnetization distribution in Permalloy microparticles with time-resolved X-Ray Photo Emission Electron Microscopy. The stroboscopic pump-probe experiments with sub-nanosecond time resolution have been carried out at the synchrotron facilities BESSY II and ESRF using soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism as magnetic contrast mechanism. The particles had a thickness of 30 nm and the following shapes with linear dimensions of 40 micrometers: rings, squares and diamonds (square rotated by 45 degree). As the static domain patterns are dominated by the shape anisotropy, the local magnetization M has well-defined directions (parallel, antiparallel, orthogonal, 45 degree) with respect to the external magnetic field H generated by a current pulse through the micro stripline. Depending on the orientation between M and H the magnetization dynamics varies significantly. The best time resolution achieved in these measurements was in the range of 130ps.
