High-performance graphene-quantum-dot photodetectors

Abstract: Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have received much attention due to their novel phenomena of charge transport and light absorption/emission. The optical transitions are known to be available up to ~6 eV in GQDs, especially useful for ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors (PDs). Thus, the demonstration of photodetection gain with GQDs would be the basis for a plenty of applications not only as a single-function device in detecting optical signals but also a key component in the optoelectronic integrated circuits. Here, … Show more

“…Interestingly, a pure diode like behavior in the I–V curve is observed without any indication of oscillation (see Supplementary Fig. 16 ), which is consistent with previous reports of graphene- and rGQD-based sandwiched devices 23 , 24 .…”

“…When the bias voltage is tuned, the E F of the subsequent graphene changes monotonically. The E F close to a certain energy state of GQDs thus causes a resonant tunneling of electrons 21 – 24 as shown in Fig. 1d .…”

“…Many researches have been conducted to open the band gap by fabricating nanostructures such as graphene nanodots (GNDs),3 graphene nanomeshes,4 and graphene nanoribbons 5. Compared with graphene, GNDs have excellent optical and electrical properties, which are tunable depending on size and shape,6 thus holding promising application prospects in photoelectric devices 7…”

“…GQDs typically show strong optical absorption in the near-ultraviolet (UV) region, with a tail extending out into the visible range 20 21 22 . Variously-sized GQDs with different photoluminescence (PL) colors ranging from UV to near-infrared (NIR) region have been prepared via various synthetic approaches 19 21 22 23 24 25 . Adjusting the size of GQDs is therefore expected to enhance the FRET efficiency as donors or acceptors.…”
