The photoexcited standing spin waves (SSWs) in the ferromagnetic insulator Bi:YIG are generated by the ultrafast change of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy and the picosecond strain dynamics via magneto-elasticity. Ultrafast X-ray diffraction (UXRD) quantifies the strain and temperature spatio-temporally which is used as in input to a numerical micromagnetic model to fit the ultrafast time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr-effect (tr-MOKE) data of the thin film which exhibits SSWs. With this, we prove that both mechanisms drive the fundamental mode with opposite phase. Both mechanisms are also substantially active as the relative amplitude of the higher order modes indicates. This is a prime example for the exceptional assistance UXRD offers in the understanding and modelling of ultrafast magnetic phenomena.
