“…While advances in THz sources have resulted in real-world applications in communications, − spectroscopy, , medical and near-field imaging, − nondestructive monitoring and testing, − security, , and microscopy, , the lack of compact, efficient THz sources has stalled mass commercial adoption of this promising technology. Current methods for the generation of THz radiation on compact platforms include the utilization of nonlinear crystals, − solid-state sources, , photoconductive switches, − and spintronic THz radiation emitters. ,− Due to their bulk, growth requirements, and the need to achieve a high degree of crystallinity and phase-matching, nonlinear crystals are ill-suited to mass-fabrication techniques and multiplatform integration, while solid-state sources and photoconductive switches are mostly limited to lower THz frequencies while requiring high bias voltages and electronic circuitry. In recent years, spintronic THz radiation emitters, ultrathin film stacks consisting of nanometer-thick heterostructures of ferromagnetic (FM) and nonmagnetic (NM) films, have become the subject of increasing interest and popularity due to their thin-film nature and compatibility with a wide range of materials and substrates. − Flexibility with substrates and choice of material enable spintronic THz radiation emitters to be compatible with various fabrication platforms and provide a unique opportunity for on-chip integration.…”
