Magnetization reversal speed in Co/Gd films is controlled by how much angular momentum the gadolinium layer can transfer to cobalt during demagnetization.

abstract
Single pulse All Optical Helicity-Independent Toggle Switching is observed in CoHo and CoDy alloys single layers. An original reversal mechanism is reported which contrasts with those observed to date. It is shown that the reversal process is on the {\mu}s timescale involving the reorganization / coalescence of domains and domain walls. The toggle switching is explained considering the unbalanced magnetization distribution stabilized after the ultrashort laser pulse.

Controlling Single-Pulse Magnetization Switching through Angular Momentum Reservoir Engineering
