    Notes: We present experimental data demonstrating the spatial resolution of an ultrafast junction mixing scanning tunneling microscope (JM-STM). The experiment uses a patterned metal-on-metal (Ti/Au) surface to establish electronic structure contrast on a short length scale. Our measurements achieve a spatio-temporal resolution of 20 nm–20 ps, limited only by the sample properties. The fine spatial resolution proves that the time-resolved signal is generated in the tunnel junction, indicating that atomic resolution should be possible in the JM-STM mode of operation. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The application of picosecond magneto-optic sampling techniques to studies of the magnetization dynamics of thin-film recording heads is described. Time-resolved magnetization measurements are performed using picosecond stroboscopic scanning Kerr microscopy. A Faraday probe is used to monitor the coil excitation current with the same optical setup, yielding a direct measure of the magnetic propagation delay through the head. This delay is found to have a marked spatial dependence across the face of the pole tips. As an aid to visualization of the spatial dependence, scanned images of the polar Kerr rotation at fixed time delays are acquired. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Time-resolved methods using picosecond scale transient magnetic fields have been developed for investigations of ultrafast magnetic phenomena in a broad variety of systems. When combined with synchronous magneto-optic detection, the approach yields stroboscopic observations of magnetic dynamics with a time resolution of order 1 ps, and a corresponding spatial resolution down to the diffraction limit of optics. Results are presented from experiments on europium chalcogenide films at low temperatures. A continuum of behavior from paramagnetic relaxation to ferromagnetic resonance is observed. Electron-beam deposited EuS films are found to have surprisingly fast spin-lattice relaxation rates, of order (100 ps)−1, and the influence of spin-orbit interactions on the spin dynamics is studied through rare-earth alloying. Results are presented from experiments utilizing the magneto-optic sampling method for direct time-resolved screening measurements of normal and superconducting metal films.

    Notes: We have measured the magnetostrictive response of small nickel and Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe1.95 cylinders to sudden step changes in applied magnetic field with a time-resolved scanning fiber interferometer. Spatially resolved measurements reveal the nonuniform distortion of the face of the rod as the induced magnetization propagates in toward the center. A crossover is observed, as a function of decreasing cylinder diameter, from eddy current- to longitudinal phonon-limited response times. The ability to characterize dynamic magnetostriction in small samples has also enabled us to perform time-resolved measurements of fast transient signals with a scanning tunneling microscope. Modulation of the tip-sample separation on short time scales is provided by the use of a nickel magnetostrictive tip driven by a local magnetic field coil. The technique offers a broadly applicable means of obtaining fast dynamical information in tunneling microscopy, and is demonstrated here on nanosecond time scales. These experiments illustrate, in the context of magnetics, the general promise of time-resolved scanning probe methods.

    Notes: The spin-scattering times of charge carriers in dilute-magnetic-semiconductor multiple quantum-well structures are observed directly in a time-resolved experiment. Luminescence measurements with a temporal resolution of 150 fs, obtained via the sum-frequency-generation optical gating technique, monitor the evolution of carrier populations optically prepared to have nonequilibrium spin polarizations. This method enables measurements of spin scattering on shorter time scales than have hitherto been accessible. Spin-relaxation times of a few picoseconds are measured for quantum-confined electrons, and these times are found to be surprisingly insensitive to the presence of magnetic ions in the wells. The strong carrier-ion spin-spin–exchange mechanism is therefore not the dominant spin-scattering channel in these structures, contrary to theoretical expectations.

    Notes: The transport of runaway electrons in a hot plasma can be comparatively easily measured by perturbation experiments which provide a runaway electron diffusivity D. The diffusion can be interpreted in terms of a magnetic fluctuation level, from which an electron thermal diffusivity can be deduced. We find the runaway electron diffusion coefficient is determined by intrinsic magnetic fluctuations rather than electrostatic fluctuations because of the high energies involved. The results presented here demonstrate the efficacy of using runaway transport techniques for determining intrinsic magnetic fluctuations.

    Notes: A high resolution scanning optical microscope for stroboscopic time-resolved studies is presented. High optical efficiency is the prime motivation in selecting a solid immersion lens to surpass conventional diffraction limited resolution. A microscope design including details concerning the fabrication, mounting, and operation of both the hemispherical and the truncated-sphere solid immersion lenses is discussed. A thin-film magnetic recording head is used as a convenient, planar test specimen with well-defined optically reflective and magnetic features on a submicrometer length scale that allows characterization of the lateral spatial resolution of the instrument. In addition, the versatility of the microscope is demonstrated through examples of time-resolved magneto-optic imaging of the head. Further enhancement of the spatial resolution through the incorporation of confocal imaging is also described. The tradeoffs governing the selection of a particular style of microscope for specific circumstances are outlined. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have measured and simulated dynamics of magnetization reversal in a micrometer scale Ni80Fe20 polycrystalline thin film element in the time domain. The sample is probed experimentally using time-resolved scanning Kerr microscopy. This allows for spatially resolved images of the dynamical magnetization states. We have simulated these magnetic reversals micromagnetically for the case of an ideal rectangular element. The reversal rates agree semiqualitatively, and gross spatial features such as a stripe instability in the directions perpendicular to the applied field are reproduced. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Ultrafast magnetization reversal dynamics in a 15-nm-thick Ni80Fe20 microstructure (10 μm×2 μm) is studied using both time-resolved scanning Kerr microscopy and numerical simulation. The time dependence of the magnetization component along the magnetic easy axis reveals a dramatic reduction in switching time, when the magnetization vector is pulsed by a longitudinal switching field while a steady transverse biasing field is applied. According to the time domain images, the abrupt change of the switching time is due to the change in the magnetization reversal mode; i.e., the nucleation dominant reversal process is replaced by domain wall motion if a transverse biasing field is applied. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
