    Abstract : This thesis presents HELIOS, an in-house laboratory for time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy with extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) probe radiation. A wide span of pump wavelengths can be generated using commercial laser equipment while XUV probe radiation is generated via a high harmonic generation process in a noble gas delivering probe photons with energies between 20 eV and 72 eV.

  4. 2. Ultrafast Magnetization Dynamics : Element-selective studies of magnetic alloys using ultra short XUV pulses

    Author : Rameez Saeed Malik; Olof Karis; Uwe Bovensiepen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; magnetization dynamics; magnetic alloys; HHG; ultrashort laser pulses; magneto-optical Kerr effect MOKE ; Gilbert damping; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, I investigate the ultrafast magnetization dynamics in 3d ferromagnets and their alloys with ultrashort laser pulses. The high harmonics generation (HHG) setup provides extreme-ultraviolet photons with energies 35-72 eV, which is the energy range where 3d metals have their M2,3 absorption edges. READ MORE

  5. 3. Active magnetoplasmonics for nanoscale distances sensing

    Author : Irina Zubritskaya; Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Keywords : cobalt; magnetoplasmonics; plasmon ruler; magneto-optical Kerr effect MOKE ; nickel; dimer; localized surface plasmon resonance;

    Abstract : Magnetoplasmonics is an emerging field within nano-photonics that operates with the combination of propagating or localized surface plasmons and magnetism. Active and adaptive magnetoplasmonic components that are capable of controlling light on the nanoscale with external weak magnetic fields are envisioned to push the development of integrated photonic circuits, high-density data storage, or the advanced schemes for bio- and chemo-sensing.

  6. 4. Designer magnetoplasmonics for adaptive nano-optics

    Author : Irina Zubritskaya; Göteborgs universitet; Göteborgs universitet; Gothenburg University; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photonics; magnetoplasmonics; magneto-optics; magneto-optical Kerr effect MOKE ; plasmon ruler; nickel; cobalt; gold; silicon; localized surface plasmon resonance; dimer; trimer; chiroptics; chiral transmission; 2D nanoantennas; dynamic tuning; metal-dielectric; 3D nanoantennas; metasurface; magnetic modulation; perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.;

    Abstract : Materials that provide real-time control of the fundamental properties of light at visible and near-infrared frequencies enable the essential components for future optical devices. Metal nanostructures that couple electromagnetic (EM) radiation on a sub-wavelength length scale to free electrons, forming propagating or localized surface plasmons, provide many exciting functionalities due to their ability to manipulate light via the local EM field shaping and enhancement.

    Abstract : The continuous phase transition in thin magnetic films and superlattices has been studied using the magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) and polarized neutron scattering (PNR).  It has been shown that the critical behavior of amorphous thin films belonging to the 2D XY universality class can be described within the same theory as crystalline sample.
