We studied the ultrafast magnetization dynamics in TbGd bilayers by XMCD in reflection at the FemtoSpeX facility of BESSY II. The bilayers were epitaxially grown on W(110) and show a two-step demagnetization as observed for Gd and Tb [1-3]. Already few layers of Tb influence the temperature-dependent magnetization of the Gd layer. This interaction depends on the distance to the interface suggesting substantial Gd-Tb spin-coupling. We obtained good agreement between experimental results on ultrafast magnetization dynamics and simulations based on the M3TM [4], which has been extended to account for temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and heat capacity, and most importantly interlayer spin transport.
