Abstract :
A novel method to achieve magnon lasing, accompanied by generation of THz radiation is proposed. The method is based on pumping of non-equilibrium electrons into the upper (spin-down) sub-band of spin-polarized half-metallic ferromagnets or ferromagnetic semiconductors, which makes it possible to build tunable, narrow-band, high-power THz sources.
