[IEEE 2019 44th International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW-THz) - Paris, France (2019.9.1-2019.9.6)] 2019 44th International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW-THz) - Application of mosaicity induced disorder controlled rare earth nickelate thin films as THz transmission modulator

摘要： Here, we have studied mosaicity induced disorder (a unique type of disorder which is transferred from substrate template to film) controlled properties of rare earth nickelate thin films. While highly oriented film exhibits sharp metal to insulator transition (MIT) and Drude type of terahertz (THz) conductivity behavior, mosaic film exhibit much more subtle and broad transition and Drude-Smith type THz conductivity behavior. On the basis of such contrasting behavior, we propose application of these films as thermally controlled THz transmission modulator: oriented film as digital modulator while mosaic film as analog modulator.
