Deterministic all-optical magnetization writing facilitated by non-local transfer of spin angular momentum
Some magnetic materials can switch magnetization via a single laser pulse. However, while very fast, the mechanism is not deterministic. Here, the authors demonstrate a deterministic method of writing opposite magnetization states optically with a sequence of one or two laser pulses.
