Abstract:
An alternating magnetic field (AMF) apparatus is developed and composed of an electromagnet and driving power supply. The structure of the electromagnet and configuration of the driving supply are described in detail. The apparatus can produce a peak magnetic field up to 9000 Oe and above under a small driving power at its resonance frequency of 1.14 kHz. Based on synchronization between the AMF and the femtosecond laser pulse train, a photomagnetic synchronized time- and high-field-resolved all-optical pump-probe magnetic-optical setup is developed. This setup has the ability to reinitialize any magnetic states between two successive laser pulses so that irreversible magnetization reversal dynamics can be studied. Dynamic Kerr hysteresis loops and magnetization reversal dynamics of high coercivity ferromagnetic TbFeCo and FePt films are demonstrated using this setup, showing importance of this synchronized time- and high-field-resolved all-optical pump-probe magnetic-optical setup in the research of ultrafast magnetization dynamics.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
