Abstract Antiferromagnets offer great potential for high-speed data processing applications, as they can expend spintronic devices from a static storage and gigahertz frequency range to the terahertz range. However, their zero net magnetization makes them difficult to manipulate and detect. In recent years, there has been a lot of attention given to the ultrafast manipulation of magnetic order using ultra-short single laser pulses, but it remains unknown whether a similar scenario can be observed in antiferromagnets. In this work, we demonstrate the manipulation of antiferromagnets with a single femtosecond laser pulse in perpendicular exchange-biased Co/IrMn/CoGd trilayers. We study the dual exchange bias interlayer interaction in quasi-static conditions and competition in ultrafast antiferromagnet rearrangement. Our results show that, compared to conventional ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic systems, the IrMn antiferromagnet can be ultrafast and efficiently manipulated by the coupled CoGd ferrimagnetic layer, which paves the way for potential energy-efficient spintronic devices.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
