Spectroscopy study demonstrates two-step ultrafast demagnetization in NiCo2O4 thin films, highlighting rare-earth-free ferrimagnetic oxides for high-speed spintronic devices.

Key Points

To examine the photoinduced magnetization dynamics and ultrafast spin response of epitaxial NiCo2O4 thin films using time-resolved optical methods.
Measured photoinduced magnetization dynamics in epitaxial NiCo2O4 thin films using the time-resolved magneto-optical Faraday effect.
Performed experiments using two independent pump–probe laser configurations operating at wavelengths of 1030/515 nm and 800/400 nm.
Observed an immediate reduction in the magneto-optical signal within instrumental resolution, followed by a slower demagnetization component with a characteristic timescale of approximately 5–6 ps.
Detected magnetic recovery occurring on a timescale of roughly 100 ps, consistently reproduced across both experimental configurations and excitation wavelengths.
Identified the magnetic response as an intrinsic, two-step type-II-like demagnetization behavior in a rare-earth-free oxide ferrimagnet.
