Effect of charge ordering and disordering on terahertz radiation characteristics of magnetoresistive Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3 thin films.

Terahertz (THz) radiation from voltage-biased photoswitching devices made on magnetoresistive manganite Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3 have been investigated for thin films grown under different conditions. We find that the temperature dependence of THz radiation near the charge-ordering temperature strongly depends on the growth condition of Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3, whereas THz radiation shows no such temperature dependence near the spin-ordering temperature.
