This paper is the review of our study published earlier in Acta Phys. Polon. A121, 522 (2012) [7],Phys Lett A378, 1364 (2014) [25],and [1]. It’s aim is to pay attention to the new possibilities related to producing the new types of THz generators. The suggested effects are the result of combining two effects: Gunn-effect in a material such as GaAs and undulator-like radiation, or "pumping wave" acting on the electrons which is the result of undulator field, while the second is the backward effect of radiation which is produced by electrons moving within such a micro-undulator. It is very probable that the effect scan be used to develop a new semiconductor-based room temperature source of the THz-radiation.
This paper is the review of our study published in J Appl Phys 115, 233509 (2014) and J Mater Sci 53, 2034 (2018). In it, we examined the possibility of fabricating the metamaterial, which is both gyrotropic and of the simultaneously negative permittivity and permeability. Our idea was to use the three-component mixture of ingredients, where one of them is responsible for the negative effective permeability µeff of hypothetical metamaterial, while all three are responsible for the negative value of effective permittivity εeff. At first we considered the following composite: the first component was the “swarm” of single-domain ferromagnetic nanoparticles, immersed in a mixture of other two, silver and mercury cadmium telluride. Then, as fabrication of the Hg1-x Cdx Te is related to using mercury which is very poisoning, we tried to exclude this material substituting it by Pb1-x Snx Te. Additionally, taking into account that silver is relatively expensive material, we have also used Cu and Al particles as the cheaper substitute of it. We have shown by computer simulations that by the proper fitting of the parameters, e.g., the radius of nanoparticles, their magnetic moments, the relative concentration of ingredients, etc., it is possible to obtain the double-negative metamaterial, that is with negative refraction index in a relatively broad range of temperatures and magnetic fields. The last seems to be very promising in terms of practical applications of metamaterials.

Praca stanowi przegląd prac autorów, opublikowanych wcześniej (J Appl Phys 115, 233509 (2014) oraz J Mater Sci 53, 2034 (2018)). W w/w pracach autorzy zbadali możliwość utworzenia metamateriału, który byłby jednocześnie giroskopowy oraz posiadał ujemne części rzeczywiste przenikalności magnetycznej i dielektrycznej. Ideą jest wykorzystanie w tym celu mieszanki trzech składników, z których pierwszy - to "rój" ferromagnetycznych nanocząstek.
