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.

Editors

The Collection will publish original research papers, and articles in various formats (full details on content types can be found here). Papers will be published in npj Spintronics as soon as they are accepted and then collected together and promoted on the Collection homepage. All Guest Edited Collections are associated with a call for papers and are managed by one or more Editorial Board Members and the journal's Editor.

This Collection welcomes submissions from all authors – and not by invitation only – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and of npj Spintronics more generally. See our editorial process page for more details.

All submissions are subject to the same peer review process and editorial standards as regular npj Spintronics articles, including the journal’s policy on competing interests. The Editors declare no competing interests with the submissions which they have handled through the peer review process. The peer review of any submissions for which the Editors have competing interests is handled by another Editor who has no competing interests. For more information, refer to our Collections guidelines.

This Collection is not supported by sponsorship.
