Terahertz emission spectroscopy (TES) of ultrathin multilayers of magnetic and heavy metals has recently attracted much interest. This method not only provides fundamental insights into photoinduced spin transport and spin–orbit interaction at highest frequencies, but has also paved the way for applications such as efficient and ultrabroadband emitters of terahertz (THz) electromagnetic radiation. So far, predominantly standard ferromagnetic materials have been exploited. Here, by introducing a suitable figure of merit, we systematically compare the strength of THz emission from [Formula: see text]/Pt bilayers with [Formula: see text] being a complex ferro-, ferri- and antiferromagnetic metal, that is, dysprosium cobalt (DyCo5), gadolinium iron (Gd[Formula: see text]Fe[Formula: see text]), magnetite (Fe3O4) and iron rhodium (FeRh). We find that the performance in terms of spin-current generation not only depends on the spin polarization of the magnet’s conduction electrons, but also on the specific interface conditions, thereby suggesting TES to be a highly interface-sensitive technique. In general, our results are relevant for all applications that rely on the optical generation of ultrafast spin currents in spintronic metallic multilayers.

AbstractFull Potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave calculations have been performed for epitaxial multilayers formed by the noble metals Ag and Cu with a thickness n up to 10 layers. The multilayers have a fcc lattice and are pure or compositionally modulated with a structure of the type Agn Cun or (AgCu)n. For n in the range 2,3 the density of states, evaluated at paramagnetic level, exhibits a sharp reduction of the bandwidth which is consistent with the reduced coordination of these structures. For n ≤ 5 the density of states in the central layers converges to the bulk value while the outer layers retain the narrow bandwidth found at n=2. Due to the absence of charge intermixing and hybridization, these features are shared by multilayers of all composition.
