Abstract
We consider the problem of the magnetization dynamics of a nanosized ferromagnetic sample caused by the spin–orbit interaction of electrons arising in the field of an incident electromagnetic wave. We discuss the case when the frequency of the incident electromagnetic radiation is close to the frequency of the interband transitions. We show that with the use of high-power lasers, this mechanism causes the appearance of a magnetization component perpendicular to the initial magnetization of the sample. This component shows oscillations with a frequency lower than that of incident electromagnetic waves. These dynamics make possible the magnetization reversal of the sample.
