The development of thin film multilayers composed of a ferromagnetic metal (FM) layer and a non-magnetic metal (NM) layer as sources for THz emission opened a new direction in physics.
In this presentation we concentrate on the impact of the FM/NM interface on the THz emission. We intentionally modify the Fe/Pt interface by manipulating the Pt growth temperature to achieve the formation of an ordered L10-FePt alloy interlayer. Subsequently, we find a Fe/L10-FePt (2nm)/Pt configuration to be significantly superior to a Fe/Pt bilayer structure, regarding THz emission amplitude and bandwidth. Both can be controlled by the extent of alloying on either side of the interface [1].
