The characteristics of terahertz (THz) irradiation generated by a silicon
nanosandwich structure under the conditions of a stabilized drain-source current are
demonstrated. The frequency of irradiation arising from the quantum Faraday effect is
determined by the parameters of microcavities embedded in the edge channels of a silicon
nanosandwich structure confined by the negative-U centers. The obtained characteristics of a
compact THz irradiation source determine the basis for highly effective medical applications.
Keywords: silicon nanosandwich structure, negative-U centers, terahertz irradiation, IR Fourier spectrometer |
