Caption

This is the spin distribution of Gd-Fe-Co film containing 22 percent of Gd at 1500 picoseconds after the laser pulse duration. A line profile of spin distribution (main graph), a magnetic image (inset image), and calculated distribution of spin directions (lower drawings) are shown. One can see propagating spin waves whose precession angle ranging 15-20 deg.
