Optoelectronic measurements of carbon nanotube transistors have shown a wide variety of sensitivites to the incident light. Direct photocurrent processes compete with a number of extrinsic mechanisms. Here we show that visible light…
The remarkable electrical and optical properties or single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) allowed for engineering device prototypes showing great potential for applications such as photodectors and solar cells. However, any path towards…
Photocurrents in nanotube p-n junctions are calculated using a non-equilibrium Green function quantum transport formalism. The short-circuit photocurrent displays band-to-band transitions and photon-assisted tunneling, and has multiple…
A new phototransistor based on the mechanically-exfoliated single-layer MoS2 nanosheet is fabricated and its light-induced electric properties are investigated in details. Photocurrent generated from the phototransistor is solely determined…
We investigated the mechanism for photoconduction in multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) film of various electrode separations upon near infrared illumination. In addition to observing strong dependence of photocurrent on the position of…
The transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMD) MoS2 and WS2 show remarkable electromechanical properties. Strain modifies the direct band gap into an indirect one, and substantial strain even induces an semiconductor-metal transition. Providing…
Spectroscopic, time-resolved scanning photocurrent microscopy is shown to distinguish the intrinsic photoresponse of monodisperse semiconducting (99%) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) from the extrinsic photoresponse of the…
We have studied photocurrent generation in large carbon nanotube (CNT) films using electrodes with different spacings. We observe that the photocurrent depends strongly on the position of illumination, with maximum observed response…
Monolayer MoS$_2$ is a direct band gap semiconductor with potential applications in optoelectronics and photonics. MoS$_2$ also has a large optical nonlinearity. However, the atomic thickness of the monolayer limits the strength of the…
Ultrafast photocurrent experiments are performed on semiconducting, single-walled carbon nanotubes under a resonant optical excitation of their subbands. The photogenerated excitons are dissociated at large electric fields and the resulting…
Engineering optical emission from two dimensional, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) materials such as Tungsten disulphide (WS2) has implications in creating and understanding nanophotonic sources. One of the challenges in controlling…
Using Ensemble Monte Carlo simulations the photocurrent in a 500nm long strained [110] silicon nanowire with diameter of 3.1 nm is investigated. It was observed that a phototransistor based on this nanowire can have responsivities in the…
Single- and multi-walled molybdenum disulfide (MoS$_2$) nanotubes have been coaxially grown on small diameter boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) which were synthesized from heteronanotubes by removing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs),…
The shift current effect, in materials lacking inversion symmetry, may potentially allow the performance of photovoltaics to surpass the Shockley-Queisser limit for traditional p-n junction-based photovoltaics. Although the shift-current…
We show that an electrical shift current is generated when electrons are photoexcited from the valence to conduction bands on a BN nanotube. This photocurrent follows the light pulse envelope and its symmetry is controlled by the atomic…
Nanoscale transistors require aggressive reduction of all channel dimensions: length, width, and thickness. While monolayer two-dimensional semiconductors (2DS) offer ultimate thickness scaling, good performance has largely been achieved…
We report for the first time large photoresponse in a single NW of the charge transfer complex Cu:TCNQ. We fabricate a metal-semiconductor-metal device with a single NW and focus ion beam deposited Pt. We observe large photocurrent even at…
Photoconductors based on semiconducting thin films, nanowires and 2-dimensional atomic layers have been extensively investigated. But there is no explicit photogain equation that allows for fitting and designing photoresponses of these…
We report on the fabrication and characterization of synthesized multiwall MoS2 nanotube (NT) and nanoribbon (NR) field-effect transistors (FETs). The MoS2 NTs and NRs were grown by chemical transport, using iodine as a transport agent.…
Using low-resistance electrical contacts, we have measured the intrinsic high-field transport properties of metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes. Individual nanotubes appear to be able to carry currents with a density exceeding 10^9…
