Fig. 7: Calculated magnetization dynamics of Gd 4f in amorphous Fe74Gd26.

Compared STT effect (difference between positive and negative STT) for both absorbed fluences at Gd in amorphous Fe74Gd26 for 120 mJ/ cm2 incident and 3.2 mJ/cm2 absorbed fluences. The red and blue lines are simulations for opposite signs of spin polarized currents (positive and negative) combining heat-driven demagnetization dynamics with STT. Gilbert damping value α = 0.1.
