Fig. 6: Crystalline anisotropy of light-induced magnetism in nonmagnetic transition metals.
From: Light-induced orbital and spin magnetism in 3d, 4d, and 5d transition metals
Light-induced orbital δL (a) and spin δS (b) magnetic moments in relation to the lifetime broadening for nonmagnetic hcp Re. The induced magnetic moments along the x-axis and along the z-axis are shown. Light is considered to be circularly polarized in the xy-plane (brown curves) or in the yz-plane (light blue curves). Both right-handed (solid lines) and left-handed (dashed lines) polarizations are displayed. The horizontal red dotted line depicts the lifetime broadening value Γ = 25 meV. The light frequency is set at ℏω = 1.55 eV.
