Abstract :
The study of ultrafast magnetic phenomena underpinning the development of data storage technologies requires increasingly high spatial and temporal resolution. However, to date there is no easily accessible method that meets these criteria. Here we introduce a plasmonic source that allows for direct generation of unipolar, sub-ps, Tesla-scale magnetic pulses localized at the nanoscale.
