Technologically important ferromagnetic alloys consisting of several magnetic sublattices exhibit often both intrinsic and induced magnetic moments. Here, we study the ultrafast response of the element-specific magnetization dynamics for thin film systems based on purely intrinsic (CoFeB) and partially induced (FePt) magnetic moments using HHG-TMOKE as an element-sensitive probe. In FePt, on the one hand, we observe an identical normalized transient magnetization for Fe and Pt throughout both the ultrafast demagnetization and the subsequent remagnetization. On the other hand, Co and Fe show a clear difference in the asymptotic limit of the remagnetization process in CoFeB. This observation is supported by calculations for the temperature-dependent behavior of the equilibrium magnetization using a dynamic spin model [1]. [1] Phys. Rev. B 98, 174419 (2018)
