Magnetization Precession

Magnetization precession induced by linearly polarized optical excitation in ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As was studied by time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements. The superposition of thermal and non-thermal effects arising from the laser pulses complicates the analysis of magnetization precession in terms of magnetic anisotropy fields. To obtain insight into these processes, we investigated compressively-strained thin (Ga,Mn)As films using ultrafast optical excitation above the band gap as a function of pulse intensity. Data analyses with the gyromagnetic calculation based on Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation combined with two different magneto-optical effects shows the non-equivalent effects of in-plane and out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy fields on both the amplitude and the frequency of magnetization precession, thus providing a handle for separating the effects of non-thermal and thermal processes in this context. Our results show that the effect of photo-generated carriers on magnetic anisotropy constitutes a particularly effective mechanism for controlling both the frequency and amplitude of magnetization precession, thus suggesting the possibility of non-thermal manipulation of spin dynamics through pulsed laser excitations.

ABSTRACTWe show evidence that the competition between the antiferromagnetic metallic phase and the charge- and orbital-ordered insulating phase at the reentrant phase boundary of a layered manganite, LaSr2Mn2O7, can be manipulated using ultrafast optical excitation. The time-dependent evolution of the Jahn-Teller superlattice reflection, the indicator of the formation of charge and orbital order, was measured at different laser fluences. The laser-induced change in the Jahn-Teller reflection intensity shows a reversal of sign between earlier (∼10 ns) and later (∼150 ns) times during the relaxation of the sample. This is consistent with a physics picture whereby the laser excitation modulates the local competition between the metallic and the insulating phases.
