Ultrabroadband High Photoresponsivity at Room Temperature Based on Quasi‐1D Pseudogap System (TaSe₄)₂I

Abstract

Narrow bandgap materials have garnered significant attention within the field of broadband photodetection. However, the performance is impeded by diminished absorption near the bandgap, resulting in a rapid decline in photoresponsivity within the mid‐wave infrared (MWIR) and long‐wave infrared (LWIR) regions. Furthermore, they mostly worked in cryogenic temperature. Here, without the assistance of any complex structure and special environment, it is realized high responsivity covering ultra‐broadband wavelength range (Ultraviolet (UV) to LWIR) in a single quasi‐1D pseudogap (PG) system (TaSe4)2I nanoribbon, especially high responsivity (From 23.9 to 8.31 A W−1) within MWIR and LWIR region at room temperature (RT). Through direct probing the carrier relaxation process with broadband time‐resolved transient absorption spectrum measurement, the underlying mechanism of majorly photoconductive effect is revealed, which causes an increased spectral weight extended to PG region. This work paves the way for realizing high‐performance uncooled MWIR and LWIR detection by using quasi‐1D PG materials.
