Extreme ultraviolet (XUV) light can be nowadays generated not only by a synchrotron but also by laser based ultrafast sources exploiting the high harmonics generation of the fundamental wavelength. Pulses in the femto-second range with photon energies up to one hundred eV enable time-resolved, element-selective measurements at the atomic absorption edges. We present transversal magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements at the M absorption edge of Ni (around 67 eV) and Fe (around 54 eV). Our results show the potential for investigating the element-selective ultrafast magnetization dynamics.
