Ultrafast demagnetization dynamics in Ni/Ru/FePt/MgO(100) films — •Sadashivaiah Sakshath1, Oliver Schmitt1, Moritz Barkowski1, Patrick Matthes2, Manfred Albrecht2,3, Mirko Cinchetti1, Stefan Mathias1, and Martin Aeschlimann11Technische Universität Kaiserslautern, Germany — 2Technische Universität Chemnitz, Germany — 3Universität Augsburg, Germany

Non-collinear magnetic layers allow us to study the influence of one ferromagnetic layer on the ultrafast dynamics of the non-collinear ferromagnet, primarily due to a spin current through the spacer layer [1,2]. We follow the dynamics of the in-plane magnetized Ni layer, as influenced by the perpendicularly magnetized FePt, using Ni/Ru/FePt/MgO(100) films. By changing the thickness of the Ru layer, we tune the amount of spin currents flowing between the magnetic layers [3]. When the thickness of Ru is low, Ni is observed to demagnetize faster in the non-collinear than in the collinear configuration. At high Ru thickness, the rate of demagnetization is the identical in both configurations, since the ultrafast spin currents do not reach the Ni layer. Additionally, at high Ru thickness, the observed magneto-optic signal shows a transient change of sign.
