Adiabatic demagnetization is an efficient technique for cooling solid samples by several orders of magnitude in a single cooling step. In gases, the required coupling between dipolar moments and ...

Magnetic solids can be demagnetized quickly with a short laser pulse, and there are already so-called HAMR (Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording) memories on the market that function according to this ...

The discovery of femtosecond laser-induced demagnetization in ferromagnetic nickel in 1996 marked the birth of ultrafast spin dynamics research. This phenomenon not only provides new insights into the ...

An international team has succeeded at BESSY II for the first time to elucidate how ultrafast spin-polarized current pulses can be characterized by measuring the ultrafast demagnetization in a ...

The Einstein-de Haas effect, first demonstrated more than a century ago, provides an intriguing link between magnetization and rotation in ferromagnetic materials. Researchers have now found that the ...
