Impact ionization in high resistivity silicon induced by an intense terahertz field enhanced by an antenna array
We report on the observation of ultrafast impact ionization and carrier generation in high resistivity silicon induced by intense subpicosecond terahertz transients. Local terahertz peak electric fields of several MV cm ^−1 are obtained by field enhancement in the near field of a resonant metallic a...
