Abstract High quantum efficiency and wide-band detection capability are the major thrusts of infrared sensing technology. However, bulk materials with high have consistently encountered challenges in integration operational complexity. Meanwhile, two-dimensional (2D) semimetal unique zero-bandgap structures constrained by bottleneck intrinsic efficiency. Here, we report a near-mid ultra-miniaturized graphene photodetector configurable 2D potential well. The well constructed dielectric can spatially (laterally vertically) produce strong trapping force on photogenerated carriers inhibit their recombination, thereby improving external (EQE) photogain device wavelength-immunity, which enable responsivity 0.2 A/W–38 A/W across broad band from 1.55 to 11 µm. Thereafter, room-temperature detectivity approaching 1 × 10 9 cm Hz 1/2 W −1 is obtained under blackbody radiation. Furthermore, synergistic effect electric light field enables high-efficiency polarization-sensitive at tunable wavelengths. Our strategy opens up alternative possibilities for easy fabrication, high-performance multifunctional photodetectors.

Upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) exhibit unique nonlinear optical properties that can be harnessed in microscopy, sensing, and photonics. However, forming high-resolution nano- micropatterns of UCNPs with large packing fractions is still challenging. Additionally, there limited understanding how nanoparticle patterning chemistries are affected by the particle size. Here, we explore direct for 6–18 nm Tm3+-, Yb3+/Tm3+-, Yb3+/Er3+-based using ligands form either new ionic linkages or covalent bonds between under ultraviolet (UV), electron-beam (e-beam), near-infrared (NIR) exposure. We study effect UCNP size on these approaches find 6 patterned compact ionic-based ligands. In contrast, larger requires long-chain, cross-linkable provide sufficient interparticle spacing to prevent irreversible aggregation upon film casting. Compared use a liquid monomer, our method limits cross-linking reaction bound deposited as thin film. This highly localized photo-/electron-initiated chemistry enables fabrication densely packed patterns high resolutions (∼1 μm UV NIR exposure; <100 e-beam).

Inorganic halide double perovskite (DP) nanocrystals (NCs) have attracted great attention because of their nontoxicity, mild reaction conditions, good stability, and excellent optical optoelectronic properties. Herein, we prepare the inorganic terbium DP Cs2BTbCl6 (B = Na or Ag) NCs with bright green photoluminescence (PL) emission. The Na–Tb-based exhibit better PL properties compared Ag–Tb-based NCs, which is due to Cs2NaTbCl6 having a more localized charge carrier distribution on [TbCl6]3– octahedron. incorporation Sb3+ dopant in can construct efficient energy transfer process, resulting doubling efficiency.
