Employing the femtosecond soft X-ray pulses with variable polarization and photon energy delivered by the FemtoSpeX facility at the electron storage ring BESSY II we are able to probe the AFM (resonant magnetic diffraction), FM (XMCD), and structural (non-resonant diffraction) dynamics of Fe/Cr superlattices in one and the same pump-probe experiment. Hence, we can directly compare AFM vs. FM spin dynamics in the same material system by only applying a moderate magnetic field (< 100 mT). Moreover, we can probe the sub-ps structural dynamics due to coherent phonon excitation and its interaction with the spin system. The element selectivity of the resonant X-ray techniques further allows for differentiating the spin dynamics of the initially FM Fe and the non-magnetic Cr layers after photoexcitation and thus for probing possible transient magnetization in Cr due to ultrafast spin injection from the Fe layers.
