Terahertz radiation pulses can be generated efficiently through femtosecond laser excitation of a ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic heterostructure, wherein an ultrafast laser-induced spin current results in an electromagnetic THz pulse due to…

Spintronic THz emitters (STE) are efficient THz sources constructed using thin heavy-metal (HM) and ferromagnetic-metal (FM) layers. To improve the performance of the STE, different structuring methods (trilayers, stacked bilayers) have…

Spintronic terahertz emitters (STEs) pumped by femtosecond lasers have become a widely used source of broadband terahertz radiation. However, the strength of the emitted field is limited in part by the optical damage threshold at the pump…
