In-situ picosecond time-resolved probing of magnetization dynamics in polycrystalline ferromagnetic thin films

Magnetization dynamics in polycrystalline Permalloy thin films were studied in-situ using a time-resolved magneto-optic Kerr effect microscope (TR-MOKE). The films, in thicknesses from 9 to 22 nm, were thermally evaporated in a high-vacuum (<10⁻⁸ mbar) environment. Two important dynamic parameter...
