ABSTRACT:

On a time scale slower than μs, it has been known that spin fluctuation in ferromagnetic materials exhibits a nontrivial collective behavior, leading to an interesting statistical phenomenon of critical scaling behavior, such as Barkhausen avalanche [1,2]. In this work, spin dynamics directly observed for wide temporal ranges from ms to ps time scales by means of magnetic imaging techniques such as magneto-optical Kerr microscopy and soft X-ray microscopy will be presented. To study spin dynamics on a sub-ns time scale, we have developed an electronic pump-probe stroboscopic technique combined with the soft X-ray microscopy developed at BL 6.1.2 in ALS. Direct observation of spin dynamics, particularly of magnetic domain wall and magnetic vortex, driven by a pulsed magnetic field or a pulsed spin current in various ferromagnetic nanoelements has revealed detailed spin behaviors on a sub-ns time scale, which is compared with the micromagnetic simulation [3,4].
