description

Abstract This article summarizes recent results on magnetization dynamics obtained with time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) using X-ray magnetic circular dichroism as contrast mechanism. Time resolution is performed by a stroboscopic technique that is exclusively sensitive to reversible processes, but offers a very high time resolution only limited by the X-ray pulse width. A time resolution of 20 ps in combination with a lateral resolution of 100 nm has been achieved.
