Terahertz (THz) spintronics, operating on picosecond timescales, involves the generation and control of non equilibrium electron spin states within the THz frequency regime. Recent studies have shown that THz light can efficiently drive coherent spin currents in nanometer-thick ferromagnet (FM)/heavy-metal (HM) heterostructures, primarily due to demagnetization process of FM and the ultrafast spin Seebeck effect. Owing to the fact that the electron-phonon relaxation time is comparable (or smaller) to the period of a THz wave, the induced spin current from each half cycle of the THz wave results in THz second harmonic generation (TSHG) and THz optical rectification. In this study, we explore the potential of utilizing subwavelength-sized gold periodic arrays with a grating period smaller than the THz wavelength to enhance local spin currents, thereby improving the efficiency of THz frequency conversion.
