Abstract
Ultrashort magnetic field pulses of 6 ps duration surrounding the focu s of 50 GeV electron bunches are shown to write a magnetic pattern int o both perpendicular and in-plane metallic magnetic recording films. H igh-resolution magnetic contrast images reveal the elementary processe s necessary to induce magnetization reversal as well as rotation of th e magnetization into the field direction.
