Extended Data Fig. 2: Calculated energy absorption in spin valves.
From: Optically induced ultrafast magnetization switching in ferromagnetic spin valves
Calculated absorption profiles for spin valves with a tCu = 10 nm b tCu = 80 nm. For tCu = 80 nm, we take into account an angle of incidence angle of 45° in the calculation (0° for reference). Calculated energy absorption in the free layer and the reference layer as a function of tCu for an angle of incidence of 0° when irradiated from c the free layer and d the reference layer. Shaded regions indicate that magnetization reversal was observed in the sample with the Cu thickness.
