Abstract
We experimentally explore the magnetization dynamics of thin ferromagnetic Co films with uniaxial in-plane anisotropy near the dynamic phase transition (DPT) and, in particular, we study the temporal characteristics of anomalous metamagnetic fluctuations that occur in its vicinity, and for which no thermodynamic equivalent exists. For this purpose, we measure the real-time evolution of magnetization trajectories in the relevant dynamic phase space, conduct a Fourier analysis of these experimental results and compare it to a model, in which the fluctuating metamagnetic behavior occurs in a purely random manner, following individual state probability distributions. We find excellent quantitative agreement in between our experimental results and the random state model, clearly indicating that multiperiod time-correlations of magnetic states are not relevant in our DPT system, not even for the occurrence of the anomalous metamagnetic fluctuations that are nonetheless associated with nonperiodic magnetic state evolutions.
