Diffuse reflectance and terahertz phase transition in a cubic Al2O3@ZnTiO3 lower-temperature perovskite

Abstract

Terahertz and diffused spectroscopy have garnered significant attention in recent times, particularly for exploring multi-oxides and multilayers composed of composites and heavy metals. This method offers reflective insights into phenomena like spin–orbit interaction and photoinduced spin transport at extremely high frequencies. Moreover, it has opened avenues for applications such as food baking and efficient and wideband emitters of terahertz electromagnetic radiation. In this study, we introduce a study for terahertz and diffused reflectance of Al₂O₃@ZnTiO₃ to evaluate the terahertz emission spectroscopy and the reflectance spectra from lower-temperature perovskite, where Al₂O₃ represents complex nano-oxides. Our analysis reveals that the efficacy of terahertz emission, in terms of spin-current generation not only relies on the spin polarization of the ZnTiO₃ nano-oxides conduction electrons but also on the Al₂O₃ interaction conditions. From the terahertz measurement, it is obvious the absorption coefficient and refractive index of nanostructure ZnTiO₃ were decreased with Al contents. This finding underscores the high sensitivity of terahertz spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance to structural properties.
