Abstract

We study the light matter interaction in WS2_{2} nanotube-graphene hybrid devices. Using scanning photocurrent microscopy we find that by engineering graphene electrodes for WS2_{2} nanotubes we can improve the collection of photogenerated carriers. We observe inhomogeneous spatial photocurrent response with an external quantum efficiency of 1%\sim 1\% at 0 V bias. We show that defects play an important role and can be utilized to enhance and tune photocarrier generation.
