Here we compare the response of two nanoscopic FePt specimen: granular and continuous films of comparable size upon fs-laser excitation. The FePt particles of the granular film are embedded in carbon matrix and exhibit a much larger out of plane magnetic anisotropy, which is desirable for heat assisted magnetic recording. Ultrafast X-Ray diffraction with a 200 fs time-resolution is used to monitor the lattice dynamics and energy flow in both films. Marked differences appear in the initial strain buildup: The nanoscopic granular film exhibits a delayed onset and strongly reduced amplitude in the out of plane expansion compared to the immediate expansion of the homogeneously excited continuous film, where all in-plane stresses are intrinsically balanced. We complement our findings of the lattice dynamics with magnetization measurements via time-resolved MOKE to present lattice and magnetization of this technologically relevant material under comparable conditions.
