Spintronic devices promise faster operation than electronics thanks to the THz dynamics of many magnetic systems. This collection aims to publish cutting-edge experimental and theoretical research that provide valuable, new insights and contribute to the advancement of THz spintronics.
The field of THz spintronics research can be broadly categorized into two areas of exploration. The first category involves the development of THz technology based on an understanding of magnetism and spintronic materials. This includes the creation of broadband and high-power spintronic THz emitters utilizing ferromagnet/heavy metal bilayer systems, as well as the coherent generation of THz waves using antiferromagnetic magnons.
The second category focuses on investigating the fundamental origins of magnetism and spintronics using THz technology. By employing THz probes, researchers are investigating the fundamentals of ultrafast spin dynamics, magnetotransport, spin-to-charge conversion, spin-orbit coupling, and ultrafast opto-spintronic behaviors.
Recently, advances in quantum technology have motivated further interest in THz spintronics as a route to performing quantum operations at higher temperatures. Hence, THz magnonics and magnon-related hybrid systems have garnered significant attention due to their potential applications in quantum technologies.
