Photoelectrical properties of integrated photodetectors based on bilayer graphene quantum dots with asymmetric metal contacts: a NEGF-DFT study
Literature Information
Majid Ghandchi, Ghafar Darvish, Mohammad Kazem Moravvej-Farshi
We propose investigating the electro-optical properties of photodetectors based on mono- and bilayer graphene quantum dots or nanodots (GNDs). These photodetectors consist of dissimilar metals (gold, silver and titanium) that are in contact with the GNDs. To obtain photoelectrical characteristics, we employed density functional theory to solve the non-equilibrium Green's function. Photo-responsivities and quantum efficiencies obtained for these nanostructures were far better than those for structures based on graphene nanoribbons. Among the proposed photodetectors, the best performance belonged to the bilayer structures illuminated by in-plane polarized incident light. The proposed photodetectors operate without a need for externally applied voltage and are suitable for parallel light propagation using directional couplers based on the evanescent field of incident light; hence, they have applications in optical integrated circuits.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
