  • 自铁磁金属在飞秒激光泵浦下的超快退磁效应发现以来, 电子的自旋属性逐渐被应用于太赫兹电磁波的产生. 利用逆Rashba-Edelstein效应产生太赫兹辐射首先在Ag/Bi界面得到证实, 而LaAlO3/SrTiO3界面通过该效应产生直流的自旋-电荷转换效率要高于Ag/Bi界面约一个数量级, 但利用该结构转化自旋流来产生太赫兹的有效性尚待系统的研究. 本文制备了NiFe/LaAlO3//SrTiO3(001)系列样品, 在飞秒激光泵浦下观察到了太赫兹辐射的产生及其对磁场方向的依赖效应, 并通过改变LaAlO3层的厚度验证了超扩散模型与光学传输模型的有效性, 观察到了在LaAlO3/SrTiO3界面由于多次反射导致太赫兹波的减弱, 为进一步优化太赫兹波的产生提供了实验和理论支持.

     

    Since the discovery of the ultrafast demagnetization of the ferromagnetic metal, the spin degree of electrons is gradually used to generate terahertz radiation. The terahertz radiation generated by the inverse Rashba-Edelstein effect was confirmed first at the interface of Ag/Bi. However, the spin-to-charge conversion efficiency of the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface is one order of magnitude lager than that of the Ag/Bi interface under equilibrium or quasi-equilibrium condition. Whether the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures can be used to convert spin current to generate terahertz radiation remains to be systemically studied. In this work, we fabricate the NiFe/LaAlO3//SrTiO3 heterostructures and investigate the generation of terahertz radiation by femtosecond laser pumping and its dependence of the magnetic field direction. We change the thickness of the LaAlO3 to show the applicability of the superdiffusive spin transport model and optical transmission model. We find the multireflections at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface weaken the terahertz radiation intensity. This work provides experimental and theoretical support for further optimizing the generation of terahertz electromagnetic waves.
