摘要:

轨道电子学器件通过操纵轨道极化电流来工作。最近的研究表明,在Ni等铁磁体中,这些轨道电流可以由飞秒激光脉冲激发,并通过轨道-电荷转换转化为超快电荷电流。然而,基于Ni的轨道电子太赫兹发射器产生的太赫兹发射仍然比典型的自旋电子太赫兹发射器弱得多。在这里,我们报告了CoPt合金中更高效的光致轨道电流产生,并且CoPt/Cu/MgO产生的轨道电子太赫兹发射所展现的太赫兹辐射可与高效的自旋电子太赫兹发射器相媲美。通过改变CoPt合金的浓度、Cu的厚度以及覆盖层,我们证实太赫兹发射主要源于CoPt内部产生的轨道积累,其通过Cu传播,随后在Cu/MgO界面处通过逆轨道Rashba-Edelstein效应进行轨道-电荷转换。这项研究为CoPt合金中极其高效的轨道电流产生提供了强有力的证据,为高效的轨道电子太赫兹发射器铺平了道路。

英文摘要:

Orbitronics devices operate by manipulating orbitally-polarized currents. Recent studies have shown that these orbital currents can be excited by femtosecond laser pulses in ferromagnet as Ni and converted into ultrafast charge current via orbital-to-charge conversion. However, the terahertz emission from orbitronic terahertz emitter based on Ni is still much weaker than the typical spintronic terahertz emitter. Here, we report more efficient light-induced generation of orbital current from CoPt alloy and the orbitronic terahertz emission by CoPt/Cu/MgO shows terahertz radiation comparable to that of efficient spintronic terahertz emitters. By varying the concentration of CoPt alloy, the thickness of Cu, and the capping layer, we confirm that THz emission primarily originates from the orbital accumulation generated within CoPt, propagating through Cu and followed by the subsequent orbital-to-charge conversion from the inverse orbital Rashba-Edelstein effect at the Cu/MgO interface. This study provides strong evidence for the very efficient orbital current generation in CoPt alloy, paving the way to efficient orbital terahertz emitters.
