There is a considerable interest in development and realization of the terahertz-frequency range oscillators and detectors. In this work a concept of temperature tunable THz oscillator is theoretically developed. As an active element we suggest holmium orthoferrite near its reorientational phase transition. We show that the heating of the orthoferrite spin system decreases the threshold of the DC electric-current required for self-oscillations due to the anisotropy constant reduction. Such concept of the temperature-tuning of magnetic properties can be applied for wide range of ferri- or antiferromagnets. We discuss a possibility of applying orthoferrite/heavy metal heterostructure as continuously tunable oscillators and detectors of THz-frequency signals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
