We investigate the coupling between the ultrafast lattice and magnetization dynamics of FePt in the L10 phase after an optical heating pulse, as used in heat assisted magnetic recording. We compare continuous and nano-granular thin films and emphasize the impact of the finite size on both the strain response and the remagnetization dynamics. Our timeresolved MOKE experiments show that the remagnetization dynamics for the single-domain FePt nanograins is dictated by the cooling, whereas it strongly depends on the field-dependent domain-wall motion for the continuous FePt-film. By combining ultrafast X-Ray diffraction and FEM-modeling we show that the concomitant lattice response in both specimen is governed by the varying degrees of in-plane motion for both specimen. We present a versatile two-pulse excitation scheme in which the first laser pulse induces a demagnetization, while the second pulse triggers a strongly magnetization-dependent lattice response in the FePt nanograins.
