摘要
We discovered a pew type of terahertz (THz) radiation from YBa2Cu3O7-delta thin films. Ultrashort electromagnetic pulses, which are referred to as THz radiation, were emitted into free space by irradiating the superconductive films with femtosecond laser pulses. The THz radiation, with a spectrum extending from 0.1 to 3 THz, was excited in both the films applied with a magnetic field and the flux-trapped films. The results suggest that the screening current for the external magnetic field and circulating current around the trapped Bur play an important role in the emission mechanism.
