Quadratic magnetoresistive phenomena, such as the anisotropic and spin-Hall magnetoresistance, are powerful and versatile probes of magnetic order in ferro- and antiferromagnetic spintronic research. In this contribution, we study the ultrafast dynamics of these effects using the broadband time-domain terahertz (THz) spectroscopy and electrical detection, covering frequency responses ranging from DC to tens of THz. Owing to the wide spectral range, we can reveal the extrinsic (electron-scattering dependent) and a sizable intrinsic (scattering independent) contributions to the anisotropic magnetoresistance in common ferromagnets and identify specific ultrafast regimes of coupling of the spin accumulation to magnetic moments in spin-Hall magnetoresistive bilayers.
