Abstract
Spin-wave dynamics in full-Heusler Co2Fe1−xMnxAl films have been investigated using all-optical pump-probe magneto-optical polar Kerr spectroscopy. We find magnetic damping and anisotropy can be modulated by composition x. Damon–Eshbach (DE) spin wave occurs only in the samples which present intrinsic magnetic damping and have huge uniaxial magnetic anisotropy, implying that intrinsic magnetic damping and huge uniaxial magnetic anisotropy is the necessary conditions to excite coherent DE spin wave. Kittel spin wave appears in low uniaxial magnetic anisotropic samples and presents extrinsic magnetic damping. Therefore, laser-excited spin-wave modes can be manipulated by magnetic anisotropy, whose physical picture is discussed phenomenologically.
