Abstract
Ultrafast magnetization reversal dynamics in a 15-nm-thick Ni80Fe20 microstructure (10 μm×2 μm) is studied using both time-resolved scanning Kerr microscopy and numerical simulation. The time dependence of the magnetization component along the magnetic easy axis reveals a dramatic reduction in switching time, when the magnetization vector is pulsed by a longitudinal switching field while a steady transverse biasing field is applied. According to the time domain images, the abrupt change of the switching time is due to the change in the magnetization reversal mode; i.e., the nucleation dominant reversal process is replaced by domain wall motion if a transverse biasing field is applied.
