Résumé

Electrical control of conjugate degrees of freedom in multiferroics provides the advantage of reducing energy consumption to femto- and even attojoules per switch in spintronics and memory devices. This is achieved through the development of technologies that make it possible to fabricate artificial materials with constantly improving properties. Here, we present the design, physics, and characteristics of a composite multiferroic spintronic emitter, which provides electrical control of the emitted terahertz (THz) wave polarization. The effect is due to electrical control of the magnetization in a high-quality magnetostrictive superlattice, TbCo2/FeCo, deposited on an anisotropic piezoelectric substrate. In our approach, several mechanisms are realized in the system simultaneously: the strain-mediated coupling of the magnetic and piezoelectric subsystems, which operate in the range of the spin-reorientation transition of the magnetic superlattice, and THz-wave generation in the superlattice by an optical femtosecond pulse. This provides flexibility and control of the set of parameters. We determine the magnetoelectric parameter, which is responsible for THz polarization control. Our results offer a significant fundamental insight into the physics of composite multiferroic systems that can be used for applications of multiferroicity, primarily for THz spintronic emitters. We believe that our findings represent a decisive step towards technologies for other types of spintronic and memory devices.
