Understanding the light-driven spin dynamics occurring at buried interfaces of complex magnetic heterostructures as used in today’s opto-spintronics applications requires direct experimental access to the nonlocal magnetic order on sub-ps time scales. Here, we report on broadband time- and angle-resolved transverse magneto-optical Kerr effect spectroscopy probing the Gd N5,4 resonance (≈150 eV) of a ferrimagnetic GdFe nanostructure with fs soft x-ray pulses provided by a laboratory-scale light source based on high-harmonic generation. Employing a pump-probe technique, we follow the fs laser-induced demagnetization of the GdFe layer. Analyzing the fs time-resolved spectra via magnetic scattering simulations allows a quantitative determination of the transient magnetization depth profiles evolving within the magnetic film due to strongly layer-dependent photoexcitation.
