Convergence of terahertz radiation and nanotechnology

Abstract

There is a growing number of advanced applications that integrate nanotechnology and terahertz radiation. The development of these niche applications has relied on convergent multidisciplinary techniques in conjunction with developments in advanced nanomaterials. The synergistic application of these fields has historically been difficult to realise as the wavelength of terahertz radiation is orders of magnitude larger than the nanoscale. In this review we explore recent developments and unique nanomaterial implementations that have facilitated advancements beyond this size mismatch, resulting in novel techniques offering alternatives to established processes or new avenues of exploration into the study of nanoscale materials and structures.
