Element-resolved evidence of superdiffusive spin current arising from ultrafast demagnetization process
Using element-specific measurements of the ultrafast demagnetization of Ru/Fe65Co35 hetero-structures, we show that Ru can exhibit a significant magnetic contrast (3% asymmetry) resulting from ultrafast spin currents emanating from the demagnetization process of the FeCo layer. We use this magnetic contrast to investigate how superdiffusive spin currents are affected by the doping of heavy element
