Controlling magnetization without using magnetic fields is a technology-driven strong motivation in the quest for new electronic devices allowing for fast control with low energy consumption. A lot of results exist for ultrafast demagnetization in pure material (as pure Ni for example) but it is essential to understand this phenomenon in alloys or hetero structures since these systems present the highest potential for applications. We describe how we are using the chemical selectivity and the optical properties of the high harmonics to study the demagnetization induced by femtosecond laser pulses in thin nickel cobalt films presenting weak stripes magnetic domains.
