Searching multiple types of terahertz (THz) irradiation source is crucial for the THz technology. In addition to the conventional fermionic cases, bosonic quasi-/particles also promise energy-efficient THz wave emission. Here, by utilizing a 2D ferromagnetic Cr Ge Te crystal, first a phonon-related magneto-tunable monochromatic THz irradiation source is demonstrated. With a low-photonic-energy broadband THz pump, a strong THz irradiation with frequency ≈0.9 THz and bandwidth ≈0.25 THz can be generated and its conversion efficiency could even reach 2.1% at 160 K. Moreover, it is intriguing to find that such monochromatic THz irradiation can be efficiently modulated by external magnetic field below 160 K. According to both experimental and theoretical analyses, the emergent THz irradiation is identified as the emission from the phonon-polariton and its temperature and magnetic field dependent behaviors confirm the large spin-lattice coupling in this 2D ferromagnetic crystal. These observations provide a new route for the creation of tunable monochromatic THz source which may have great practical interests in future applications in photonic and spintronic devices.

Bone defects present a significant clinical challenge, often requiring surgical intervention due to delayed healing. Terahertz (THz) radiation, a noninvasive physical energy-based therapy, has shown potential in promoting bone regeneration through biomolecular interactions. This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of THz irradiation in enhancing bone repair using a pre-clinical rat tibial fracture defect model.

Accurate evaluation of the thermal conductivity of UO with defects is very significant for optimizing fuel performance and enhancing the safety design of reactors. We employed a method that combines the Boltzmann transport equation with DFT+U to calculate the thermal conductivity of UO containing fission products and irradiation-induced point defects. Our investigation reveals that the thermal conductivity of UO is influenced by defect concentration, defect type, and temperature.

As a common sulfate mineral on Martian surface, calcium sulfate hydrate experiences wide temperature variations. However, the permittivity properties of calcium sulfate hydrate as a function of temperature remains underexplored. In this study, this gap has been addressed by systematically investigating the complex permittivity of calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO·2HO) in THz frequency band using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy over a temperature range from 100 K to 320 K.

Molecular isomerization supports a variety of biological processes, and conformational regulation is a promising approach to achieve the desired physiological functions or inhibit adverse biological activities. Although extremely challenging, a controllable isomerism-modulated approach with features such as being molecule specific, non-invasive, and reversible is highly desirable for complex biosystems. Herein, based on the evidence from the molecular dynamic simulations of the controlled rotation around the σ bonds in retinal moiety and its generalizability to other systems, we present a strategy to achieve frequency-specific terahertz (THz) light-driven, controllable and reversible molecular isomerization.
