THz emission from metallic thin film multilayers interlinked the field of ultrafast spintronics and the field of THz optics, raising new fascinating research subjects. In principle, the THz pulse is generated by a spin current. This spin current is excited in a ferromagnetic layer by a fs laser pulse and diffuses into the adjacent layers. Usually their material is chosen to have a high spin-orbit coupling to provide a strong spin-to-charge conversion via the spin-Hall effect, resulting in a transient charge current. These accelerated electrons emit a radiation in the THz range.

Our recent experiments concentrate on materials different from our well-studied Fe/Pt-bilayers: Firstly, as Ta is a material with high spin-orbit coupling and a spin-Hall angle opposite to Pt's, we did not only replace Pt in bilayers but also added Ta as a second non-magnetic layer. Additionally we extended our investigations regarding the role of the interface to interfaces 'dusted' with Au and Cu, meaning they are grown thin enough not to form a whole monolayer.
