Abstract
Taking into account the difference in the mobilities of electrons with different spin projections, the frequencies of spin-injection radiation in the current-carrying magnetic contact formed by two ferromagnets are calculated. It is shown that these frequencies are in the terahertz range at a certain current density exceeding the threshold value, and the current density required to generate terahertz radiation can be, even at small values of the electron mobility difference, two orders of magnitude less than that in the absence of the electron mobility difference. The effect of the spin polarization ratio of ferromagnets that form a magnetic junction on the radiation frequency is analyzed.
