Optimal control of laser-induced spin–orbit mediated ultrafast demagnetization

Laser induced ultrafast demagnetization is the process whereby the magnetic moment of a ferromagnetic material is seen to drop significantly on a timescale of 10–100 s of femtoseconds due to the application of a strong laser pulse. If this phenomenon can be harnessed for future technology, it offers...
