Helicity-dependent optical control of the magnetization state emerging from the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation
It is well known that the Gilbert relaxation time of a magnetic moment scales inversely with the magnitude of the externally applied field, H, and the Gilbert damping, α. Therefore, in ultrashort optical pulses, where H can temporarily reach high amplitudes, the Gilbert relaxation time can momentari...
