We present a new class of artificial materials which exhibit a tailored response to the electrical component of electromagnetic radiation. These electric metamaterials (EM-MMs) are investigated theoretically, computationally, and experimentally using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. These structures display a resonant response including regions of negative permittivity (epsilon < 0) ranging from ~500 GHz to 1 THz. Conventional electric media such as distributed wires are difficult to incorporate into metamaterials. In contrast, these new localized structures will simplify the construction of future metamaterials - including those with negative index of refraction - and will enhance the design and fabrication of functional THz devices.

The terahertz (THz) frequency range (0.1-10 THz) fills the gap between the microwave and optical parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Recent progress in the generation and detection of the THz radiation has made it a powerful tool for fundamental r
esearch and resulted in a number of applications. However, some important components necessary to effectively manipulate THz radiation are still missing. In particular, active polarization and phase control over a broad THz band would have major applications in science and technology. It would, e.g., enable high-speed modulation for wireless communications and real-time chiral structure spectroscopy of proteins and DNA. In physics, this technology can be also used to precisely measure very weak Faraday and Kerr effects, as required, for instance, to probe the electrodynamics of topological insulators. Phase control of THz radiation has been demonstrated using various approaches. They depend either on the physical dimensions of the phase plate (and hence provide a fixed phase shift) or on a mechanically controlled time delay between optical pulses (and hence prevent fast modulation). Here, we present data that demonstrate the room temperature giant Faraday effect in HgTe can be electrically tuned over a wide frequency range (0.1-1 THz). The principle of operation is based on the field effect in a thin HgTe semimetal film. These findings together with the low scattering rate in HgTe open a new approach for high-speed amplitude and phase modulation in the THz frequency range.
We have obtained spectra of second-harmonic generation, third harmonic generation, and four-wave mixing from a fishnet metamaterial around its magnetic resonance. The resonant behaviors are distinctly different from those for ordinary materials. They
result from the fact that the resonance is plasmonic, and its enhancement appears through the local field in the nanostructure.
We have fabricated resonant terahertz metamaterials on free standing polyimide substrates. The low-loss polyimide substrates can be as thin as 5.5 micron yielding robust large-area metamaterials which are easily wrapped into cylinders with a radius o
f a few millimeters. Our results provide a path forward for creating multi-layer non-planar metamaterials at terahertz frequencies.
Antiferromagnetic spintronics allows us to explore storing and processing information in magnetic crystals with vanishing magnetization. In this manuscript, we investigate magnetoresistance effects in antiferromagnetic CuMnAs upon switching into high
-resistive states using electrical pulses. By employing magnetic field sweeps up to 14 T and magnetic field pulses up to $sim$ 60 T, we reveal hysteretic phenomena and changes in the magnetoresistance, as well as the resilience of the switching signal in CuMnAs to the high magnetic field. These properties of the switched state are discussed in the context of recent studies of antiferromagnetic textures in CuMnAs.
The terahertz spectral regime, ranging from about 0.1 to 15 THz, is one of the least explored yet most technologically transformative spectral regions. One current challenge is to develop efficient and compact terahertz emitters/detectors with a broa
dband and gapless spectrum that can be tailored for various pump photon energies. Here we demonstrate efficient single-cycle broadband THz generation, ranging from about 0.1 to 4 THz, from a thin layer of split-ring resonators with few tens of nanometers thickness by pumping at the telecommunications wavelength of 1.5 micrometer (200 THz). The terahertz emission arises from exciting the magnetic-dipole resonance of the split-ring resonators and quickly decreases under off-resonance pumping. This, together with pump polarization dependence and power scaling of the terahertz emission, identifies the role of optically induced nonlinear currents in split-ring resonators. We also reveal a giant sheet nonlinear susceptibility $sim$10$^{-16}$ m$^2$V$^{-1}$ that far exceeds thin films and bulk non-centrosymmetric materials.
