Laser-induced precession of magnetization in ferrimagnetic GdFe thin films with low power excitation

We have investigated thermal effects on the dynamics of laser-induced precession of magnetization in ferrimagnetic GdFe thin films under low-excitation conditions (6-60 μJ/cm2). An increase in quasi-equilibrium temperature by laser heating causes a shift in precession frequency, which is explained a...
