摘要:

提出并分析了基于双石墨层和多石墨层结构的垂直热电子太赫兹(THz)石墨烯层探测器(GLDs)的概念,其势垒层由具有适度导带偏移的材料(如二硫化钨等材料)制成。这些探测器的操作是通过来自GLS的电子发射来实现的,所述电子发射通过由入射THz辐射加热的电子来增强。电子加热主要与带内吸收(Drude吸收)有关。计算了不同GL数的GL探测器的响应率和探测率随光子能量、GL掺杂和外加电压的变化关系。基于级联多GL结构的探测器可以表现出相当大的光电增益,从而提高了响应率和探测率。所考虑的太赫兹探测器的优点与它们对正入射辐射的高灵敏度和在太赫兹频率范围的低端在室温下的高效操作相关联。这种具有金属光栅的GLD,支持通过入射THz辐射激发GL结构中的等离子体振荡,可以在几个THz的频率下表现出强的谐振响应(在该范围内,其中基于A $_3$ B $_5$材料的常规检测器,特别是THz量子阱检测器的操作由于这种材料中的强光学声子辐射吸收而受到阻碍)。

英文摘要:

We propose and analyze the concept of the vertical hot-electron terahertz (THz) graphene-layer detectors (GLDs) based on the double-GL and multiple-GL structures with the barrier layers made of materials with a moderate conduction band off-set (such as tungsten disulfide and related materials). The operation of these detectors is enabled by the thermionic emissions from the GLs enhanced by the electrons heated by incoming THz radiation. The electron heating is primarily associated with the intraband absorption (the Drude absorption). We calculate the responsivity and detectivity as functions of the photon energy, GL doping, and the applied voltage for the GL detectors (GLDs) with different number of GLs. The detectors based on the cascade multiple-GL structures can exhibit a substantial photoelectric gain resulting in the elevated responsivity and detectivity. The advantages of the THz detectors under consideration are associated with their high sensitivity to the normal incident radiation and efficient operation at room temperature at the low end of the THz frequency range. Such GLDs with a metal grating, supporting the excitation of plasma oscillations in the GL-structures by the incident THz radiation, can exhibit a strong resonant response at the frequencies of several THz (in the range, where the operation of the conventional detectors based on A$_3$B$_5$ materials, in particular THz quantum-well detectors, is hindered due to a strong optical phonon radiation absorption in such materials).
