TY - JOUR A1 - Mattern, Maximilian A1 - Pudell, Jan-Etienne A1 - Dumesnil, Karine A1 - von Reppert, Alexander A1 - Bargheer, Matias T1 - Towards shaping picosecond strain pulses via magnetostrictive transducers JF - Photoacoustics N2 - Using time-resolved x-ray diffraction, we demonstrate the manipulation of the picosecond strain response of a metallic heterostructure consisting of a dysprosium (Dy) transducer and a niobium (Nb) detection layer by an external magnetic field. We utilize the first-order ferromagnetic–antiferromagnetic phase transition of the Dy layer, which provides an additional large contractive stress upon laser excitation compared to its zerofield response. This enhances the laser-induced contraction of the transducer and changes the shape of the picosecond strain pulses driven in Dy and detected within the buried Nb layer. Based on our experiment with rare-earth metals we discuss required properties for functional transducers, which may allow for novel field-control of the emitted picosecond strain pulses.
