Magneto Optical Kerr Effect

Abstract The quasi-static strain (QSS) is the product induced by the lattice thermal expansion after ultrafast photo-excitation. Although the QSS and thermal effects are barely distinguishable in time, they should be treated separately because of their different fundamental actions to ultrafast spin dynamics. By employing ultrafast Sagnac interferometry and the magneto-optical Kerr effect, we demonstrate quantitatively the existence of QSS and the decoupling of two effects counteracting each other in typical polycrystalline Co and Ni films. The Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert and Kittel equations considering a magnetoelastic energy term showed that QSS, rather than the thermal energy, in ferromagnets plays a governing role in ultrafast spin dynamics. This demonstration provides an essential way to analyze ultrafast photo-induced phenomena.

Electron Spin Dynamics

The electron spin dynamics in the as-grown Ga 1-x Mn x As films with appropriate Mn doping of x ~ 2–5% is studied using time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements. Due to the existence of Mn interstitials, the s-d exchange scattering is found to play an important role for the as-grown Ga 1-x Mn x As , and compete with p-d exchange coupling to dominate the electron spin relaxation process. The contribution of electron–electron Coulomb scattering to the electron spin dynamics for the as-grown Ga 1-x Mn x As appears to be as important as that of the annealed ones. Our findings are fundamentally important for better understanding the electron spin dynamics in Ga 1-x Mn x As for its future spintronic applications.
