Triggering ultrafast magnetic dynamics using structured light

In the last decades, a growing interest has been developed around the possibility of manipulating the magnetic properties of matter at the nanoscale, with the paramount objective of obtaining high-density, ultrafast, and low-power memories. Since the ’90s, the control, and namely the demagnetization of magnetic samples using femtosecond laser pulses has been widely studied. However,
