Abstract

An ultrafast terahertz functionality of thermoelectric materials is shown. Femtosecond laser heating results in terahertz emission from thermoelectric Bi2Te3 thin films in a non-standard manner. The results manifest an ultrafast build-up of the thermal diffusion current on the picosecond order, which is useful for the development of high-speed optoelectronic thermoelectric devices.
