Spin- and charge transport at THz frequencies in metallic multilayers: A 2-dimensional model — •Marcel Burgard, Dennis M. Nenno, and Hans Christian Schneider — Physics Department, TU Kaiserslautern, Kaiserslautern, Germany

We theoretically investigate spin and charge currents in metallic films and magnetic multilayers. These currents are driven by THz-fields via the inverse spin-Hall effect (ISHE) [1,2]. Frequencies in the THz regime have been shown to drastically alter the transport properties for electrons close to the Fermi energy [3], as they are described by wave-diffusion equations [3,4]. In order to study the impact of screening and ISHE on transport at THz frequencies we extend our model for an effectively one-dimensional calculation [3] to two dimensions and investigate the interaction between currents in different spatial directions.
