Ultrafast control of magnetic materials and structures are a key prerequisite for developing advanced magnetic storage devices with increased speed and decreased dimensions. To this end, investigations of confined magnetic structures behaviour apart from equilibrium with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution under as defined conditions as possible are essential.

Here we investigate the fs temporal non-equilibrium evolution of the antiferromagnetic (AFM) order in EuTe thin films through resonant soft x-ray diffraction after laser excitation. Momentum resolved scans across the Bragg reflection provide information on the thin film magnetic profile evolution during the ultrafast quenching and recovery of the AFM order. They reveal that the magnetic profile is modified in a completely different way than for elevated temperatures in thermal equilibrium. Since the AFM structure of EuTe sensitively depends on the ionic distances, this study also provides new information on the interplay between structural and magnetic degrees of freedom. The measurements were performed at the FemtoSPEX facility at the HZB.
