Recently magnetic storage and magnetic memory have shifted towards the use of magnetic thin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). Understanding the magnetic damping in these materials is crucial, but normal Ferromagnetic Resonance (FMR) measurements face some limitations. The desire to quantify the damping in materials with PMA has resulted in the adoption of Time-Resolved Magneto-optical Kerr Effect (TR-MOKE) measurements. In this paper, we discuss the angle and field dependent signals in TR-MOKE, and utilize a numerical algorithm based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation to provide information on the optimal conditions to run TR-MOKE measurements.

We report a magneto-optical Kerr effect study of the collective magnetic response of artificial square spin ice, a lithographically-defined array of single-domain ferromagnetic islands. We find that the anisotropic inter-island interactions lead to a
non-monotonic angular dependence of the array coercive field. Comparisons with micromagnetic simulations indicate that the two perpendicular sublattices exhibit distinct responses to island edge roughness, which clearly influence the magnetization reversal process. Furthermore, such comparisons demonstrate that disorder associated with roughness in the island edges plays a hitherto unrecognized but essential role in the collective behavior of these systems.
The dynamic coercivity cannot be measured rigorously by the conventional time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect technique because the irreversible deviation of the transient magnetization is accumulated. In order to remove the accumulation effect,
the alternating magnetic field is employed and synchronized with the femtosecond laser pulse. Since the sample is reset before each single laser pulse, the accumulation effect of the irreversible deviation of the transient magnetization is removed. For perpendicularly magnetized $L1_{mathrm{0}}$ FePt films, the dynamic magnetization reversal process is accomplished by the nucleation of reversed domains and the pinned domain wall motion.
We have studied the propagation characteristics of spin wave modes in a permalloy stripe by time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect techniques. We observe a beating interference pattern in the time domain under the influence of an electrical square
pulse excitation at the center of the stripe. We also probe the non-reciprocal behavior of propagating spin waves with a dependence on the external magnetic field. Spatial dependence studies show that localized edge mode spin waves have a lower frequency than spin waves in the center of the stripe, due to the varying magnetization vector across the width of the stripe.
Black phosphorus (BP) has emerged as a direct-bandgap semiconducting material with great application potentials in electronics, photonics, and energy conversion. Experimental characterization of the anisotropic thermal properties of BP, however, is e
xtremely challenging due to the lack of reliable and accurate measurement techniques to characterize anisotropic samples that are micrometers in size. Here, we report measurement results of the anisotropic thermal conductivity of bulk BP along three primary crystalline orientations, using the novel time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect (TR-MOKE) with enhanced measurement sensitivities. Two-dimensional beam-offset TR-MOKE signals from BP flakes yield the thermal conductivity along the zigzag crystalline direction to be 84 ~ 101 W/(m*K), nearly three times as large as that along the armchair direction (26 ~ 36 W/(m*K)). The through-plane thermal conductivity of BP ranges from 4.3 to 5.5 W/(m*K). The first-principles calculation was performed for the first time to predict the phonon transport in BP both along the in-plane zigzag and armchair directions and along the through-plane direction. This work successfully unveiled the fundamental mechanisms of anisotropic thermal transport along the three crystalline directions in bulk BP, as demonstrated by the excellent agreement between our first-principles-based theoretical predictions and experimental characterizations on the anisotropic thermal conductivities of bulk BP.
The generation and manipulation of carrier spin polarization in semiconductors solely by electric fields has garnered significant attention as both an interesting manifestation of spin-orbit physics as well as a valuable capability for potential spin
tronics devices. One realization of these spin-orbit phenomena, the spin Hall effect (SHE), has been studied as a means of all-electrical spin current generation and spin separation in both semiconductor and metallic systems. Previous measurements of the spin Hall effect have focused on steady-state generation and time-averaged detection, without directly addressing the accumulation dynamics on the timescale of the spin coherence time. Here, we demonstrate time-resolved measurement of the dynamics of spin accumulation generated by the extrinsic spin Hall effect in a doped GaAs semiconductor channel. Using electrically-pumped time-resolved Kerr rotation, we image the accumulation, precession, and decay dynamics near the channel boundary with spatial and temporal resolution and identify multiple evolution time constants. We model these processes using time-dependent diffusion analysis utilizing both exact and numerical solution techniques and find that the underlying physical spin coherence time differs from the dynamical rates of spin accumulation and decay observed near the sample edges.
