Abstract

The effects of an external magnetic field (B-field) on the terahertz (THz) emission from doped indium antimonide (InSb) and gallium arsenide (GaAs) wafers were compared. Results have shown that the THz emission from InSb (p-InSb and n-InSb) increased, independent of the B-field polarity. In contrast, the THz emission from GaAs (p-GaAs and n-GaAs) showed preference for enhancement in one B-field polarity. The opposite polarity resulted to an attenuation of the THz signal. These differences in the B-field enhancement characteristics are attributed to significant differences in the effective masses of electrons and holes in InSb and GaAs.
