The complexity of such model, however, led the researchers to look for simpler and yet relevant alternatives. In the attempts to circumvent the complexity of this model, two main simplified versions of the (3BHM) were considered. In the first alternative, one eliminates the doped holes and their respective sub-lattices by tying them to the <span>(Cu^{++})</span> electrons, thereby forming the so-called Zhang-Rice singlets. The remaining dynamics consists in doping a Mott-Hubbard insulator and is described by the t-J Model. The second alternative maintains that the <span>(Cu^{++})</span> electrons form a square lattice of localized spins, while the doped holes move along the oxygen sub-lattices and undergo a Kondo-like magnetic interaction with the localized spins, besides the Hubbard-like electric repulsion. This scenario is described by the Spin-Fermion-Hubbard Model. Most of the researchers in the field chose to follow the first road, while I chose the second one.

Since ω / ω<sub>p</sub> > 1, the Gaussian laser beam propagates through the plasma. During propagation, the laser field modifies the plasma refractive index, and the resulting intensity-dependent change in refractive index leads to self-focusing of the beam. As the Gaussian beam traverses the plasma, its transverse intensity gradient exerts a nonlinear ponderomotive force on the electrons within the VA-QMCNTs. This interaction modifies the electron density and induces nonlinear currents, which serve as the source of THz radiation. The output THz power is substantially enhanced in regions where self-focusing is more pronounced. Furthermore, resonant enhancement of THz generation is observed at specific laser parameters, such as normalised pulse duration, beam width parameter, and spot size. The role of electron collision frequency in shaping the THz output is also examined. Numerical analysis reveals that the proposed scheme offers a promising pathway for THz generation. Given the strong sensitivity of THz radiations to tissue water content, the proposed scheme is relevant to non-invasive imaging of superficial tissues, including burn-depth and hydration assessment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":499,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Physics","volume":"56 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148751423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
