Analysis of Terahertz Emission Profiles from Optically-Excited Magnetic Multilayers — •Dennis Nenno1,2,3, Rolf Binder2, and Hans Christian Schneider1 — 1TU Kaiserslautern — 2University of Arizona — 3Max Planck Institut für Chemische Physik fester Stoffe
Optically excited spin-currents lead to efficient terahertz emission from heavy metals via the inverse Spin-Hall effect [1]. We have developed an approach to simulate the dynamics of hot carriers in metallic multilayers by using a particle-in-cell approach to solve the Boltzmann transport equation. Using this framework, we study the effects of spin-dependent hot-carrier dynamics, as well as terahertz emission from Fe/Pt samples [2]. Our model reliably reproduces experimental findings and we show how the simulation clarifies the importance of the growth conditions [3]. From a genereal transfer-matrix analysis we demonstrate how simple, widely-used relations such as E∝ ∂ j/∂ t and E∝ j between the field E and the dynamical charge current j in the emitter arise in the limiting cases of thin and thick layers.
