| contents | Single-shot all-optical helicity independent switching processes are investigated using advanced micromagnetic modeling in a ferrimagnetic thin film embedded in a multilayer stack. Building on recent experimental findings, our multiscale simulations realistically account for heat transport in the stack, focusing on the influence of a metallic copper underlayer with varying thickness. We analyze how this thermal transport affects the final magnetic state of the ferrimagnet as a function of both the laser pulse duration and fluence. Our results reproduce the experimentally observed switching behaviors and elucidate the physical mechanisms that govern the emergence of three distinct final magnetic states. In particular, we demonstrate how these states are critically influenced by the thickness of the underlying copper layer. |
