Abstract

Single cycle terahertz (THz) pulses were employed to excite coherent spin waves in (110)-oriented PrFeO3 single crystal. The free induction decay radiations at frequency of 0.34 THz (quasi-ferromagnetic mode, FM mode) and 0.41 THz (quasi-antiferromagnetic mode, AFM mode) were observed arising from the coupling of magnetic moment with the impulsive magnetic field of polarized terahertz radiation. These two spin modes in PrFeO3 can be excited and modulated by the magnetic field of THz pulse with a specific polarization with respect to the crystal axis. The extracted complex dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability dispersion in THz range suggest a higher efficiency of energy transfer from the impulsive THz pulse into the AFM than the FM spin system.
