The groundbreaking discovery of ferromagnetic ordering in layered two-dimensional CrTe2 at ambient temperature [1] has sparked the research interest in chromium-tellurides over the last several years, establishing CrxTey as a premier platform for next generation spintronics or skyrmionic devices [2].
While the role of intercalation on the magnetic ordering in a static setting is well understood, its impact on ultrafast dynamics remains unclear.
Here we use time-resolved MOKE and transient reflectivity measurements to identify the role of intercalation on the ultrafast dynamics in thin films of CrTe2 and Cr2Te3 fabricated by hybrid pulsed laser deposition [3]. The pump-probe experiments reveal several significant differences in the ultrafast magnetization dynamics, including the appearance of heavily damped magnon modes at lower temperatures of Cr2Te3, as well as significantly stronger coherent phonon modes in CrTe2.
