Abstract
Ultrafast strengthening or quenching of the ferromagnetic order of semiconducting Eu1-xGdxO was achieved by resonant photoexcitation. The modification of the magnetic order is established within 3 ps as revealed by optical second harmonic generation. A theoretical analysis shows that the response is determined by the interplay of chemically and optically generated carriers in a nonequilibrium scenario beyond the three-temperature model. General criteria for the design of spintronics materials with tunable ultrafast spin dynamics are given.
