摘要: Nanoporous honeycomb membranes on InP (111) surfaces emit ultrafast coherent terahertz pulses under near-infrared optical excitation. Irradiating the with heavy noble gas Kr or Xe ions enhances emission. The emission does not vary in-plane magnetic field rotation and exhibits three-cycle dependence azimuthal-angle rotation. Both suggest source is transient currents but rectification enhanced by heavy-ion irradiation.
