Detection and generation of submillimeter and terahertz modes in ferromagnet-antiferromagnet junctions

Spin-polarized current can tilt magnetic sublattices in an antiferromagnetic layer of a ferromagnet-antiferromagnet junction without imposing any external magnetic field. Thus, the current can induce magnetization in the antiferromagnetic layer. This effect seemingly took place in experiments on the observation of terahertz emission at the precession frequencies of current-induced magnetization. In this work, the mechanisms of motion of the induced magnetization, as well as the possibility of detection and generation of radiation emitted during such motion, are suggested and discussed. The notion of spin-injection antiferromagnetic resonance is introduced.
