Phonon-tunable THz magnonic emission in multiferroic heterostructures

Sylvain Massabeau, Amr Abdelsamie, Florian Godel +13

Collective excitations such as magnons and polar phonons provide natural access to the terahertz (THz) regime, but efficient generation and tunability remain elusive. Multiferroic…
