The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Interface-Induced Phenomena in Magnetism (2016, positive): “More recent discoveries include deterministic switching by single femtosecond pulses of circularly polarized light [Stanciu et al., 2007] and remarkable (and unexpected) helicity-independent toggle-switching of magnetization in ferrimagnetic rare earth-transition metal alloys [Ostler et al.”
10 years of pioneering X-ray science at the Free-Electron Laser FLASH at DESY (2019, background): “…polarized femtosecond laser pulses reversible all-optical switching of the magnetization can be realized in certain materials have led to an even increased interest in ultra-fast magnetization dynamics because of the relevance for application in magnetic data storage (Stanciu et al., 2007).”
Photonics of time-varying media (2021, background): “Particularly, Stanciu et al.243 demonstrated a 40-fs all-optical switching of magnetization.”
