| Outline of Research at the Start |
Nowadays, the question of how, and how fast, magnetization can be reversed is attracting great practical interest in hard disk drive (HDD) community. The applicant here unprecedently utilizes the interconversion between heat (phononic), light (photonic), and spin (spintronic) for ultrafast manipulation of magnetization reversal. Success of this proposal will bring revolutionary impact on the next-generation HDD with much higher recording areal density and energy efficiency.

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Nowadays, the question of how, and how fast, magnetization can be reversed is attracting great practical interest in hard disk drive (HDD) community. In this project, we successfully demonstrate a clearly enhanced all optical magnetic switching (AOS) in magnetic hard L10-ordered FePt continuous/nanogranular films deposited on yttrium iron garnet (YIG) single crystal substrate. The enhancement was confirmed by comparing with similar FePt thin films deposited on gadolinium gallium garnet single crystal substrate. The enhancement was considered due to a thermal-induced spin-transfer torque via the spin Seebeck effect in YIG substrate with a tremendous temperature gradient induced by the laser exposure. For practical application, the quantification of the enhancement and optimization of the thin film (especially the nanogranular film) microstructure will be necessary to achieve a laser-induced deterministic magnetization switching in magnetically hard FePt nanogranular film.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
The new physics behind the results will promote a new field of academic enquiry concerned with the interconversion between heat (phononic), light (photonic), spin (spintronic), and nanomagnetism and furthermore provide new insight into the R&D of the next-generation hard-disk drive (HDD) industry.
