Magnetic 2D ferromagnetic heterostructures for spintronic THz emission

Recently emerged spintronic terahertz (THz) emission spectroscopy has been widely employed not only to investigate ultrafast spin dynamics, to understand the fundamental physics of femtosecond demagnetization, but also been treated as contactless ultrafast Ampere meter for femtosecond spin currents. Here we explored a new atomically thin 2D materials (Fe
