Antiferromagnets are an exciting class of materials due to their inherently THz dynamics and complex interactions. Here, the highlight of our work is the demonstration that it is possible to switch the coupled antiferromagnet with a single femtosecond laser pulse. Our results provide a means of direct and deterministic control of an antiferromagnet on the sub-picosecond timescale

Researchers from a consortium joining IJL (Nancy, France), IPCMS (Strasbourg, France) and C4S (Cluj, Romania) were able to manipulate the electronic spin inside a very thin magnetic layer. They did this by use of a Read more…
