摘要
Spintronic terahertz emitters are broadband and efficient sources of terahertz radiation, which emerged at the intersection of ultrafast spintronics and terahertz photonics. They are based on efficient spin-current generation, spin-to-charge-current conversion, and current-to-field conversion at terahertz rates. In this Editorial, we review the recent developments and applications, the current understanding of the physical processes, and the future challenges and perspectives of broadband spintronic terahertz emitters.
