Electronic and magnetic properties under femtosecond laser excitation, from the Gd single crystal to the ferrimagnetic alloys

Those thesis works are included in the framework of the study of ultrafast magnetization dynamics. First of all I introduce theoretical aspects, then experimental aspects of this kind of experiments.In this aim, we have studied the answer of ferromagnetic alloys of different compositions with a bench of time resolved magneto optical Kerr effect measurement, then in a second part, the magnetization and valence band dynamics of the epitaxial Gadolinium on tungsten. In this framework, we studied the oxidization of the Gd, which limits in the time the studies. In the end, we focus on a disturbing process that happens during the study of electrons dynamics in photoemission, the space charge effect. This can generate photoelectrons from metals, with a multiphotonic process. We propose in this last part a theoretical model to explain this phenomenon.These works are included in the development of SOLEIL synchrotron facility, in order to allow the development of the FEMTOSLICING, that will next allow to perform element resolved experiments within a time resolution of a hundredth of femtoseconds.
