Thickness-Dependent Spintronic Terahertz Emission in Molecular Beam Epitaxy-Grown PtTe2: From Semiconductor to Type-II Dirac Semimetal

Abstract Spintronic THz emitters are the most practical broadband sources, but their performance is constrained by the spin Hall conductivity of the conversion layer. We show that PtTe2, a type II Dirac semimetal, overcomes this limitation through thickness-driven electronic phas...
