Résumé

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.
