Enhancing all-optical switching of magnetization by He ion irradiation

Fundamental mechanism for all-optical helicity-dependent switching of magnetization

Switching magnetizations with femtosecond circularly polarized lasers may have revolutionary impacts on magnetic data storage and relevant applications. Achievements in ferrimagnetic and ferromagnetic materials of various structures strongly imply a general phenomenon of fundamental atom-laser interaction. Rotating an atom's wave function with the rotating electric field of a circularly polariz...

control of the optical properties of nanoparticles by laser fields

در این پایان نامه، درهمتنیدگی بین یک سیستم نقطه کوانتومی دوگانه(مولکول نقطه کوانتومی) و میدان مورد مطالعه قرار گرفته است. از آنتروپی ون نیومن به عنوان ابزاری برای بررسی درهمتنیدگی بین اتم و میدان استفاده شده و تاثیر پارامترهای مختلف، نظیر تونل زنی(که توسط تغییر ولتاژ ایجاد می شود)، شدت میدان و نسبت دو گسیل خودبخودی بر رفتار درجه درهمتنیدگی سیستم بررسی شده اشت.با تغییر هر یک از این پارامترها، در...

Ultrafast All-optical Switching Based on Ingaasp Grown by He-plasma-assisted Molecular Beam Epitaxy

We present the first experimental study of the optical properties of HELP InGaAsP (InGaAsP grown by He-plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy) relevant to all-optical switching, and the first demonstration of picosecond switching using this material. We observed an optical response time of 15 ps, a nonlinear index change as large as 0.077, a sharp absorption band edge, and a small absorption ta...

Deterministic character of all-optical magnetization switching in GdFe-based ferrimagnetic alloys

Nanoscale sub-100 picosecond all-optical magnetization switching in GdFeCo microstructures.

Ultrafast magnetization reversal driven by femtosecond laser pulses has been shown to be a promising way to write information. Seeking to improve the recording density has raised intriguing fundamental questions about the feasibility of combining ultrafast temporal resolution with sub-wavelength spatial resolution for magnetic recording. Here we report on the experimental demonstration of nanos...
