Graphene photodetectors: Thinking outside the 2-D box

Graphene photodetectors: Thinking outside the 2-D box Madrid, Spain (SPX) Jul 19, 2016 - In a recent work published in Nature Communications, the research group led by ICREA Professor at ICFO Frank Koppens demonstrate a novel way to detect low-energy photons using vertical heterostructures made by stacking graphene and other 2D semiconducting materials. By studying the photoresponse of these atomically thin sandwiches, the researchers have shown that it is possible to generate ... more
