Is the controversy over femtosecond magneto-optics really solved?

Abstract

In this correspondence we present arguments against such a conclusion. We address the following issues: first, the presented model3 does not treat a pumpprobe set-up; second, it only considers how the magnetization is modified due to optical transitions of band electrons; and third, the studied3 first-order magnetic response can be shown to be zero.
