28. The room temperature values g=2.12 and μ0MS=0.8T for Py are used. Kz is determined as a fit parameter: the absolute value increases with Dy doping from KZ=-1.5 to -4.7×104J/m3 at maximum of 2% Dy doping for the thin film (corresponding to a 0.5 GHz shift to higher frequencies).

40. We consider here the asymmetric part of the Kerr rotation, θK,-(τ)=12(θK(τ,M)-θK(τ,-M)). The transient reflectivity R(τ) mirrors the electron dynamics, revealing a faster saturation not altered by the doping.
