摘要:

纳米尺度下的激光诱导磁性操纵是一个快速发展的研究课题,在自旋电子学中具有潜在的应用。在这项工作中,我们解决的散射截面,热效应,和激光能量密度上的单个飞秒激光脉冲激发的磁性纳米粒子的磁性,结构和化学稳定性的作用。我们发现,从飞秒激光脉冲的纳米粒子的能量转移是有限的瑞利散射截面,结合光吸收的支持基板和保护层确定的纳米粒子温度的增加。我们调查个别钴纳米粒子(8至20 nm的大小)作为一个原型模型系统,使用X射线光电子显微镜和扫描电子显微镜后,激发单飞秒激光脉冲的不同强度和偏振。与计算结果一致,我们发现没有确定性或随机反转的纳米粒子的磁化强度超快退磁或全光开关通常报告在薄膜。相反,在更高的能量密度下,激光脉冲激发导致纳米颗粒与保护层的光化学反应,这导致磁性的不可逆变化。基于我们的研究结果,我们讨论了在隔离的纳米磁体中实现激光诱导开关所需的条件。

英文摘要:

Laser-induced manipulation of magnetism at the nanoscale is a rapidly growing research topic with potential for applications in spintronics. In this work, we address the role of the scattering cross section, thermal effects, and laser fluence on the magnetic, structural, and chemical stability of individual magnetic nanoparticles excited by single femtosecond laser pulses. We find that the energy transfer from the fs laser pulse to the nanoparticles is limited by the Rayleigh scattering cross section, which in combination with the light absorption of the supporting substrate and protective layers determines the increase in the nanoparticle temperature. We investigate individual Co nanoparticles (8 to 20 nm in size) as a prototypical model system, using x-ray photoemission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy upon excitation with single femtosecond laser pulses of varying intensity and polarization. In agreement with calculations, we find no deterministic or stochastic reversal of the magnetization in the nanoparticles up to intensities where ultrafast demagnetization or all-optical switching is typically reported in thin films. Instead, at higher fluences, the laser pulse excitation leads to photo-chemical reactions of the nanoparticles with the protective layer, which results in an irreversible change in the magnetic properties. Based on our findings, we discuss the conditions required for achieving laser-induced switching in isolated nanomagnets.
