Selective all-optical magnetization switching in multilayered nanostructures with GdFeCo

摘要

The study is devoted to the phenomenon of the selective all-optical magnetization switching in multilayered plasmonic structures with GdFeCo. Our recent works showed the possibility to address magnetization state of the single layer of the multilayered structure depending on the polarization of the femtosecond pulse. Here we focus our attention on the other interesting phenomenon - magnetization-selective switching arising from the difference of the magnetization reversal thresholds for the similar femtosecond pulse characteristics but different initial magnetization states of the layers.
