Bilayers of ferrimagnetic Fe/Gd on W(110) were investigated at BESSY II. We examined the temperature-dependent magnetization of the bilayer element-specifically by measuring the Fe L3,2- and the Gd M5,4-edges using XMCD in reflection. We show that thermal magnetization-switching is dependent on the layer thickness. Further time-resolved experiments at the FEMTOSPEX facility show ultrafast demagnetization dynamics on a sub-ps timescale even for Gd, much faster than previously observed for pure Gd films. We attribute this to efficient interlayer spin currents.
