To perform ultrafast storage of data based on magnetic materials, a new way of sub-picosecond magnetization is researched. Iron-Rhodium is suggested as convenient material which is capable of performing laser induced magnetization. Preparations for this experiment consists of sample growth using physical vapor deposition method of magnetron sputtering and subsequent sample characterization. Three samples were prepared, each with different concept of temperature tuning. Sample I is tuned via composition alteration ( $Fe_{1-x}Rh_x$ ). Sample II deposition onto a sapphire substrate induced tensile in-plane stress. By carbon doping Iron-Rhodium thin film of sample III. The thin film samples are characterized by using vibrating sample magnetometry and optical microscopy. Vibrating sample magnetometry granted a way of recording field driven and more importantly thermally driven hysteresis curves. Measurements yielded precise values of phase transition temperatures for antiferromagnetic-to-ferromagnetic and ferromagnetic-to-antiferromagnetic were detetermined for samples I, II, and III to be 325.9 K and 306 K, 321 K and 291 K, and 311.8 K and 288 K, respectively. Characteristic values of magnetization saturation, coercive field, residual magnetization and temperature difference between phase transition temperatures were recorded. Custom code in combination with microscopy images offered an insightful information on surface region specific domain growth. Combining results of both methods granted a deeper understanding of ''how'' and ''when'' aforementioned magnetostructural phase transition takes affect. The ultrashort laser induced magnetization utilizes a custom laser set-up. The observation of irradiated Iron-Rhodium thin film using optical microscopy shows stable ferromagnetic domains in a laser path pattern. Thus concluding that Iron-Rhodium thin films are prepared, characterized by magnetometry as a function of temperature, and the ultrafast laser induced magnetization was successfully performed.
