Femtosecond laser pulses trigger in dielectric FeBO3 coherent oscillations of the magnetic anisotropy followed by spins. The oscillations are driven by optically excited lattice vibrations strongly coupled to the magnetic system. Unlike the spin resonances, this mode is characterized by a very small damping ratio and can be easily pushed into an anharmonic regime.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
