Preface
This volume contains the lecture notes of the seventh school on Magnetism and
Synchrotron Radiation held in Mittelwihr, France, from 7 to 12 October 2018.
This school has been contributing since 1989 to federate the community which
uses synchrotron radiation for magnetic investigations, starting with first-generation
synchrotrons, until today where new opportunities open up with the access to
free-electron lasers. We would like to dedicate this school to the late Eric
Beaurepaire (1959–2018) from IPCMS-CNRS for his tribute to the existence of this
school and to the science of magnetism. He was one of the founders and passionate
supporter of this school. He set several milestones in the field of femtomagnetism,
first using pump-probe laser experiments to unravel the magnetization dynamics
with a founding paper in 1996, and several years later, making use of time-resolved
experiments with synchrotron radiation. We will also remember him as a simple
and very human person.
