In this talk, we show how the cluster magnetic octupole in Mn3Sn is electrically manipulated by the spin-orbit torque [2] and how the dynamics of the octupole is probed by time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect [3] and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism [4]. Specifically, we show the giant effective damping of the octupole dynamics, which guarantees the potential of an ultrafast switching at <10 ps, a hundred times faster than the case of spin-magnetization in a ferromagnet. This work paves the path toward realizing ultrafast spintronic devices using the antiferromagnetic Weyl semimetal.
