A graphic depicts the interactions of terahertz pulses (pink) with a vertically aligned nanocomposite. B is the magnetic field and ETHz is the THz electric field. The nanocomposite film includes vertical zinc oxide (ZnO) tiny pillars (red) embedded in lanthanum strontium manganite film matrix (yellow).
