Ultrafast changes of magnetic anisotropy driven by laser-generated coherent and noncoherent phonons in metallic films

Ultrafast optical excitation of a metal ferromagnetic film results in a modification of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy and induces the magnetization precession. We consider two main contributions to these processes: an effect of noncoherent phonons, which modifies the temperature dependent parame...
