With combined time [1]- and depth-resolved [2] x-ray magnetic resonant diffraction we studied optically induced antiferromagnetic dynamics in the 4f metal dysprosium. This allows us to draw not only conclusion about the temporal development but also on the spatial evolution of the magnetic order after exposure to a pump-laser pulse. We find a complex depth dependent quenching behavior of the magnetic order indicative for the interplay of different delocalized as well as local excitation channels. Further, on longer time scales, we observe two clearly distinguishable regions with different magnetic properties within the sample hinting to a long-living non-equilibrium state of the 4f magnetic system.
