Optical manipulation of magnetism holds promise for future ultrafast spintronics, especially with lanthanides and their huge, localized magnetic moments. These 4f moments interact indirectly by spin polarizing the conduction electrons (the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida exchange interaction), influenced by interatomic orbital overlap, and the conduction electron's susceptibility around the Fermi level.
