laser诱导轨道动量对磁化翻转的影响

Effect of laser induced orbital momentum on magnetization switching

Anirban Kundu, Shufeng Zhang

摘要:

圆偏振超快激光脉冲引起的磁化翻转归因于逆法拉第效应,即非平衡轨道动量通过自旋-轨道耦合作为有效磁场,实现磁化旋转和翻转。我们严格审查这种情况下,明确计算通用巡回乐队的诱导轨道动量的大小。我们表明,计算的诱导角动量是不够大的逆转在一个激光脉冲的顺序为100飞秒持续时间的磁化。相反,我们建议,每个激光脉冲是能够扩大几纳米的反畴,它需要多个脉冲来完成磁化反转过程通过畴壁运动。

英文摘要:

The observed magnetization switching by circularly polarized ultrafast laser pulses has been attributed to the inverse Faraday effect in which the induced non-equilibrium orbital momentum serves as an effective magnetic filed via spin-orbit coupling for magnetization rotation and switching. We critically examine this scenario by explicitly calculating the magnitude of the induced orbital momentum for generic itinerant band. We show that the calculated induced angular momentum is not large enough for reversing the magnetization in one laser pulse with the order of 100 femtosecond duration. Instead, we propose that each laser pulse is capable to expand a reverse domain a few nano-meters and it takes multiple pulses to complete the magnetization reversal process via domain wall motion.
