Abstract
It was recently reported that THz emission can be realized in heterostructures composed of ferromagneticand non-magnetic metal thin films via dynamical spin-to charge conversion. This occursfrom interfacial Rashba spin-orbit coupling or inverted spin-Hall effect (ISHE) and evidencedvia time-dependent spectroscopy. This particular work and objectives focus on last results ofTHz emission provided by optimized growth bilayers composed of a high-spin orbit material anda ferromagnetic layer Co/Pt in different configurations by inserting gold, titanium and rutheniumthin layers for better electronic matching. Those bilayers state-of-the-art analysis is based on experimentscombining RF-spin pumping and spin-to-charge conversion by ISHE . The THzexperiments consist in exciting magnetization and spin-currents within the FM layer via femtosecondlaser excitation and measuring, in the picosecond timescale, the relaxation of the correlatedspin and charge currents responsible for THz dipolar emission.
The advantages of the THz emitterbased on magnetic heterostructures are low-cost and the polarization of emitted THz wave beingeasily tuned with an external magnetic field
