In recent years, extreme ultraviolet magneto-optical spectroscopy has helped to identify a number of unique ultrafast magnetization processes, including optical inter-site spin transfer (OISTR) and delayed demagnetization in Fe-Ni alloys. However, the interpretation in terms of the element-resolved magnetic moment in non-equilibrium is not always straightforward, as we have recently shown for transverse magneto-optical Kerr spectroscopy of Ni and Fe-Ni thin films [1, 2]. To overcome this issue, we demonstrate that an angle-resolved analysis enables complete access to the magneto-optical response function, and moreover enables a quantitative comparison to ab-initio theoretical calculations. Through such an analysis, we are able to verify the existence of OISTR in Fe-Ni alloys and furthermore shine light on the intimate connection between OISTR and delayed demagnetization [2].
