Amorphous InGaMgO Ultraviolet Photo-TFT with Ultrahigh Photosensitivity and Extremely Large Responsivity.

ABSTRACT: Recently, amorphous InGaZnO ultraviolet photo thin-film transistors have exhibited great potential for application in future display technologies. Nevertheless, the transmittance of amorphous InGaZnO (~80%) is still not high enough, resulting in the relatively large sacrifice of aperture ratio for each sensor pixel. In this work, the ultraviolet photo thin-film transistor based on amorphous InGaMgO, which processes a larger bandgap and higher transmission compared to amorphous InGaZnO, was proposed and investigated. Furthermore, the effects of post-deposition annealing in oxygen on both the material and ultraviolet detection characteristics of amorphous InGaMgO were also comprehensively studied. It was found that oxygen post-deposition annealing can effectively reduce oxygen vacancies, leading to an optimized device performance, including lower dark current, higher sensitivity, and larger responsivity. We attributed it to the combined effect of the reduction in donor states and recombination centers, both of which are related to oxygen vacancies. As a result, the 240-min annealed device exhibited the lowest dark current of 1.7 × 10-10 A, the highest photosensitivity of 3.9 × 10⁶, and the largest responsivity of 1.5 × 10⁴ A/W. Therefore, our findings have revealed that amorphous InGaMgO photo thin-film transistors are a very promising alternative for UV detection, especially for application in touch-free interactive displays.

Aluminum Plasmonics Enriched Ultraviolet GaN Photodetector with Ultrahigh Responsivity, Detectivity, and Broad Bandwidth.

Project description:Plasmonics have been well investigated on photodetectors, particularly in IR and visible regimes. However, for a wide range of ultraviolet (UV) applications, plasmonics remain unavailable mainly because of the constrained optical properties of applicable plasmonic materials in the UV regime. Therefore, an epitaxial single-crystalline aluminum (Al) film, an abundant metal with high plasma frequency and low intrinsic loss is fabricated, on a wide bandgap semiconductive gallium nitride (GaN) to form a UV photodetector. By deliberately designing a periodic nanohole array in this Al film, localized surface plasmon resonance and extraordinary transmission are enabled; hence, the maximum responsivity (670 A W-1) and highest detectivity (1.48 × 1015 cm Hz1/2 W-1) is obtained at the resonance wavelength of 355 nm. In addition, owing to coupling among nanoholes, the bandwidth expands substantially, encompassing the entire UV range. Finally, a Schottky contact is formed between the single-crystalline Al nanohole array and the GaN substrate, resulting in a fast temporal response with a rise time of 51 ms and a fall time of 197 ms. To the best knowledge, the presented detectivity is the highest compared with those of other reported GaN photodetectors.

Ultrahigh Responsivity and Detectivity Graphene-Perovskite Hybrid Phototransistors by Sequential Vapor Deposition.

Project description:In this work, graphene-methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) perovskite hybrid phototransistors fabricated by sequential vapor deposition are demonstrated. Ultrahigh responsivity of 1.73 × 107 A W-1 and detectivity of 2 × 1015 Jones are achieved, with extremely high effective quantum efficiencies of about 108% in the visible range (450-700 nm). This excellent performance is attributed to the ultra-flat perovskite films grown by vapor deposition on the graphene sheets. The hybrid structure of graphene covered with uniform perovskite has high exciton separation ability under light exposure, and thus efficiently generates photocurrents. This paper presents photoluminescence (PL) images along with statistical analysis used to study the photo-induced exciton behavior. Both uniform and dramatic PL intensity quenching has been observed over entire measured regions, consistently demonstrating excellent exciton separation in the devices.

Ultrahigh Responsivity-Bandwidth Product in a Compact InP Nanopillar Phototransistor Directly Grown on Silicon.

Project description:Highly sensitive and fast photodetectors can enable low power, high bandwidth on-chip optical interconnects for silicon integrated electronics. III-V compound semiconductor direct-bandgap materials with high absorption coefficients are particularly promising for photodetection in energy-efficient optical links because of the potential to scale down the absorber size, and the resulting capacitance and dark current, while maintaining high quantum efficiency. We demonstrate a compact bipolar junction phototransistor with a high current gain (53.6), bandwidth (7 GHz) and responsivity (9.5 A/W) using a single crystalline indium phosphide nanopillar directly grown on a silicon substrate. Transistor gain is obtained at sub-picowatt optical power and collector bias close to the CMOS line voltage. The quantum efficiency-bandwidth product of 105 GHz is the highest for photodetectors on silicon. The bipolar junction phototransistor combines the receiver front end circuit and absorber into a monolithic integrated device, eliminating the wire capacitance between the detector and first amplifier stage.

Photo-Responsivity Improvement of Photo-Mobile Polymers Actuators Based on a Novel LCs/Azobenzene Copolymer and ZnO Nanoparticles Network.

Project description:The efficiency of photomobile polymers (PMP) in the conversion of light into mechanical work plays a fundamental role in achieving cutting-edge innovation in the development of novel applications ranging from energy harvesting to sensor approaches. Because of their photochromic properties, azobenzene monomers have been shown to be an efficient material for the preparation of PMPs with appropriate photoresponsivity. Upon integration of the azobenzene molecules as moieties into a polymer, they act as an engine, allowing fast movements of up to 50 Hz. In this work we show a promising approach for integrating ZnO nanoparticles into a liquid crystalline polymer network. The addition of such nanoparticles allows the trapping of incoming light, which acts as diffusive points in the polymer matrix. We characterized the achieved nanocomposite material in terms of thermomechanical and optical properties and finally demonstrated that the doped PMP was better performing that the undoped PMP film.

Ultraviolet photo-oxidation of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) coatings on gold nanoparticles.

Project description:Polymeric coatings are commonly applied to impart functionality and colloidal stability to engineered nanoparticles. In natural environments, transformations of the coating can modify the particle transport behavior, but the mechanisms and outcomes of these transformations have not yet been thoroughly evaluated. This study investigates the photo-transformations of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) coatings on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, representing light exposure in surface waters or other sunlit environments, and the impact on the AuNP colloidal stability. Multiple orthogonal characterization methods were applied to interrogate UV-induced transformations and their consequences. Rapid oxidation of the PVP coating occurred upon UV exposure. The transformed PVP largely persisted on the AuNP surface, albeit in a collapsed polymer layer around the AuNP surface. This transformation resulted in drastically diminished colloidal stability of the AuNPs, consistent with loss of steric stabilization. While the residual coating modified the interaction of the AuNPs with calcium counterions, it did not prevent subsequent stabilization by humic acid. This study demonstrates the importance of both chemical and physical coating transformations on nanoparticles, and hence the need for orthogonal and complementary characterization methods to fully characterize the coating transformations. Finally, the specific transformations of the PVP-coated AuNPs investigated here are discussed more broadly with respect to generalizability to other polymer-coated NPs and the implications for their fate in sunlit or other reactive environments.

Ultrahigh-responsivity waveguide-coupled optical power monitor for Si photonic circuits operating at near-infrared wavelengths.

Project description:A phototransistor is a promising candidate as an optical power monitor in Si photonic circuits since the internal gain of photocurrent enables high responsivity. However, state-of-the-art waveguide-coupled phototransistors suffer from a responsivity of lower than 103 A/W, which is insufficient for detecting very low power light. Here, we present a waveguide-coupled phototransistor operating at a 1.3 μm wavelength, which consists of an InGaAs ultrathin channel on a Si waveguide working as a gate electrode to increase the responsivity. The Si waveguide gate underneath the InGaAs ultrathin channel enables the effective control of transistor current without optical absorption by the gate metal. As a result, our phototransistor achieved the highest responsivity of approximately 106 A/W among the waveguide-coupled phototransistors, allowing us to detect light of 621 fW propagating in the Si waveguide. The high responsivity and the reasonable response time of approximately 100 μs make our phototransistor promising as an effective optical power monitor in Si photonic circuits.

Photo-Rheological Fluid-Based Colorimetric Ultraviolet Light Intensity Sensor.

Project description:This study presents an introduction to a new type of ultraviolet (UV) light intensity sensor using photo-rheological (PR) fluids whose properties, such as color, can be changed by UV light. When the PR fluids were irradiated by UV light, colorimetric transitions were observed. Effectively, this means that their color changed gradually from yellow to red. The degree of the color change depended on the UV light intensity and was characterized by the hue value of the images acquired with a compact image sensor. We demonstrated that UV light-responsive capabilities can be readily imparted to PR fluids, and that the colorimetric responses to different UV light intensities can be used to measure the UV light intensities.

Ultrahigh photo-stable all-inorganic perovskite nanocrystals and their robust random lasing.

Project description:Photo-instability has prevented further commercialization of all-inorganic perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) in the field of high-power optoelectronics. Here, an accelerated transformation process from non-luminescent Cs4PbBr6 to CsPbBr3 NCs with bright green emission is explored with irradiation at 365 nm during water-triggered structural transformation. The photoelectric field provided by the photon energy of 365 nm promotes the rapid stripping of CsBr and atomic reconstruction, contributing to the production of ultrahigh photo-stable defect-free CsPbBr3 NCs. The robust emission output of the as-obtained CsPbBr3 NCs is well preserved even when recorded after 160 min. Moreover, a long-term stable random lasing could be achieved when excited using an ∼800 nm femtosecond laser for at least 8.6 × 107 laser shots. Our results not only elucidate the photo-induced accelerated phase transformation process of the all-inorganic perovskites, but also open up opportunities to synthesize highly stable CsPbBr3 NCs for their practical application in photovoltaics and optoelectronics.

Extremely heat tolerant photo-symbiosis in a shallow marine benthic foraminifera.

Project description:Bleaching, the loss of algal symbionts, occurs in marine photosymbiotic organisms at water temperatures minimally exceeding average summer SST (sea surface temperatures). Pre-adaptation allows organisms to persist under warmer conditions, providing the tolerance can be carried to new habitats. Here we provide evidence for the existence of such adaptation in the benthic foraminifera Pararotalia calcariformata. This species occurs at a thermally polluted site in the Mediterranean, where water temperatures reach a maxima daily average of 36?°C during the summer. To test whether this occurrence represents a widespread adaptation, we conducted manipulative experiments exposing this species from an unpolluted site to elevated temperatures (20-42?°C). It was kept in co-culture with the more thermally sensitive foraminifera Amphistegina lobifera in two experiments (20-36?°C). Reduced photosynthetic activity in A. lobifera occurred at 32?°C whereas photochemical stress in P. calcariformata was first observed during exposure to 36?°C. Pararotalia calcariformata survived all treatment conditions and grew under 36?°C. The photosymbiosis in P. calcariformata is unusually thermally tolerant. These observations imply that marine eukaryote-eukaryote photosymbiosis can respond to elevated temperatures by drawing on a pool of naturally occurring pre-adaptations. It also provides a perspective on the massive occurrence of symbiont-bearing foraminifera in the early Cenozoic hothouse climate.
