TL;DR: In this paper, a phenomenological theory of photoinduced anisotropy was proposed to explain the photomagnetic effect of laser light on epitaxial films induced by linearly polarized argon laser light.

TL;DR: In this article, the magnetic anisotropy of a Pt/Co(2.6 nm)/Pt film is first changed from in-plane to out-of-plane by uniform low dose Ga+ ion irradiation at 30 keV.

TL;DR: It is shown that keV He(+) ion bombardment of Au/Co/Au layer systems through a colloidal mask of hexagonally arranged spherical polystyrene beads enables magnetic patterning of regularly arranged cylindrical magnetic monodomains with out-of-plane magnetization embedded in a ferromagnetic matrix with easy-plane anisotropy.

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that in low applied axial fields, on increasing the circular magnetic field produced by current, the initial homogeneous circular magnetization distribution evolves in three sequential steps: (i) the appearance of a helical magnetization state, (ii) a jump to the helical state with opposite chirality, and (iii) a gradual rotation of magnetization toward the new circular state.

TL;DR: Light-induced uniaxial magnetic anisotropy characterized by amplitude, times of creation, and a vanishing factor was studied in this paper. But the results of the experiments were limited to the case of an argon laser.
