Engineering Vitality Bands in 0D-2D Hybrid Photodetectors: Cu-Doped InP Quantum Dots on Sort-III SnSe2/MoTe2 Heterojunction


Two-dimensional (2D) self-driven photodetectors have emerged as a compelling space of analysis, providing benefits equivalent to miniaturization, weak mild detection, excessive photosensitivity, and low noise ranges. Nevertheless, present type-III 2D heterojunction photodetectors typically endure from low self-driven responsivity and medium Ilight/Idark ratios. On this work, a novel gadget structure that addresses these challenges by incorporating Cu-doped InP/ZnSeS/ZnS core-shell quantum dots (QDs) onto a type-III SnSe2/MoTe2 2D heterojunction. The strategically engineered power band construction of the Cu-doped QDs facilitates service transport with SnSe2/MoTe2 to kind back-to-back type-II and type-III band alignments. Consequently, underneath 532 nm illumination, the hybrid gadget displays outstanding seen mild self-driven efficiency metrics with the assistance of photogating impact: an ultra-low darkish present of 23 fA, with responsivity and exterior quantum effectivity enhanced to 459 mA/W and 109 %, respectively, surpassing theoretical values by fourfold in comparison with the pure SnSe2/MoTe2, a low noise equal energy (NEP) of 0.87 × 10-2 pW/Hz-1/2, a sensible particular detectivity of 1.45 × 1011 Jones, a big Ilight/Idark ratio of 106 and a swift response time of 1.16 ms/1.14 ms with secure operation. These outcomes exhibit that power band engineering of Cu-doped QDs can considerably improve the efficiency of 2D type-III heterojunctions within the seen vary, laying a basis for future gate-tunable optoelectronic units.
