Ultrafast magnetisation dynamics can reveal transient magnetic states and enable the observation of exotic physics not accessible on shorter timescales. Here, the authors investigate a photo-induced antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic transition in a strongly correlated thin film using time resolved X-ray based techniques.
