31. See Supplemental Material at http://link.aps.org/ supplemental/10.1103/PhysRevX.2.021013 for videos of the magnetization dynamics. The XMCD videos of hysteresis loops of magnetic electrodes are shown with the field applied perpendicular to the samples. Video 1 shows a magnetization loop from 0:3 to 0.3 Tesla. Video 2 corresponds to a virgin sample; the magnetization loop goes from zero applied field to 0.3 Tesla and back to 0:3 Tesla.
