abstract = {Development of ultrafast table-top x-ray sources that can
map various spin, orbital, and electronic configurations and
reordering processes on their natural time and length scales
is an essential topic for modern condensed matter physics as
well as ultrafast science. In this work, we demonstrate
spatiotemporally resolved resonant magnetic scattering
(XRMS) to probe the inner-shell 4d electrons of a rare-earth
(RE) composite ferrimagnetic system using a bright >200eV
soft x-ray high harmonic generation (HHG) source, which is
relevant for future energy-efficient, high-speed spintronic
applications. The XRMS is enabled by direct driving of the
HHG process with power-scalable, high-energy Yb laser
technology. The optimally phase-matched broadband plateau of
the HHG offers a record photon flux $(>2×109photons/s/1\%$
bandwidth) with excellent spatial coherence and covers the
entire resonant energy range of RE’s N4,5 edges. We verify
the underlying physics of our x-ray generation strategy
through the analysis of microscopic and macroscopic
processes. Using a CoTb alloy as a prototypical
ferrimagnetic system, we retrieve the spin dynamics, and
resolve a fast demagnetization time of 500±126fs,
concomitant with an expansion of the domain periodicity,
corresponding to a domain wall velocity of ∼750m/s. The
results confirm that, far from cross-contamination of
low-energy absorption edges in multi-element systems, the
highly localized states of 4d electrons associated with the
N4,5 edges can provide high-quality core-level magnetic
information on par with what can be obtained at the M edges,
which is currently accessible only at large-scale x-ray
facilities. The analysis also indicates the rich material-,
composition-, and probing-energy-dependent driving mechanism
of RE-associated multicomponent systems. Considering the
rapid emergence of high-power Yb lasers combined with novel
nonlinear compression technology, this work indicates
potential for next-generation high-performance soft x-ray
HHG-based sources in future extremely photon-hungry
applications on the table-top scale, such as probing
electronic motion in biologically relevant molecules in
their physiological environment (liquid phase), and advanced
coherent imaging of nano-engineered devices with 5∼8nm
resolution.},
