We studied the fluence-dependent ultrafast magnetization dynamics in TbGd bilayers by XMCD in reflection at the FemtoSpex facility of BESSY II. The bilayers were grown on a W(110) substrate and show a two-step demagnetization as observed in previous experiments on Gd and Tb [1-4]. Interestingly, the static magnetic properties and the spin dynamics of a Gd thin film can be significantly altered by depositing only a few monolayers of Tb on top. The temperature-dependent magnetization of Gd in TbGd bilayers is influenced by the Tb layer depending on the distance from the interface, which suggests a substantial spin-coupling between Gd and Tb.
