• iron at which the alloy would become magnetically homogeneous. This requires a method for detecting magnetic inhomogeneities, preferably with the possibility of being applied to thin films. We propose the use of ultrafast, time-resolved optical and magneto-optical spectroscopy methods for probing

• -rich PdFe alloys. Conclusion Based on the analysis of the experimental data on ultrafast optical and magneto-optical spectroscopy in comparison with the magnetometry data, responses have been identified inherent to the magnetically inhomogeneous state of the epitaxial Pd1−xFex alloy films. The
