The angle change of each cantilever in a focal plane array （FPA） can be simultaneously detected with a resolution of 10.5 degree. A deformation magnifying substrate-free micro-cantilever unit with multi-fold interval metaUized legs is specially designed and modeled. A FPA with 160×160 pixels is fabricated and thermal images with noise equivalent temperature difference （NETD） of 400 mK are obtained by this imaging detector.展开更多

Two-dimensional LBIC microscopy, also generally called photocurrent mapping(PC mapping), can provide spatially resolved information about local electrical properties and p-n junction formation in photovoltaic infrared(including visible light) photodetectors from which it is possible to extract material and device parameters such as junction area, junction depth, diffusion length, leakage current position and minority carrier diffusion length etc. This paper presents a comprehensive review of research background, operating principle, fundamental issues, and applications of LBIC or PC mapping.展开更多

Here, the photodetection and chemical sensing device is developed based on two-dimensional(2D) glassygraphene that meets similar property requirements for the two functionalities. An appropriate bandgap arising from the distorted lattice structure enables glassy graphene to exhibit comparable or even improved photodetection and chemical sensing capability, compared with pristine graphene. Due to strong interactions between glassy graphene and the ambient atmosphere, the devices are less sensitive to photoinduced desorption than the ones based on graphene. Consequently,the few-layer glassy graphene device delivers positive photoresponse, with a responsivity of 0.22 A W^(-1) and specific detectivity reaching ~10^(10) Jones under 405 nm illumination.Moreover, the intrinsic defects and strain in glassy graphene can enhance the adsorption of analytes, leading to high chemical sensing performance. Specifically, the extracted signalto-noise-ratio of the glassy graphene device for detecting acetone is 48, representing more than 50% improvement over the device based on graphene. Additionally, bias-voltage-and thickness-dependent volatile organic compound(VOC) sensing features are identified, indicating the few-layer glassy graphene is more sensitive. This study successfully demonstrates the potential of glassy graphene for integrated photodetection and chemical sensing, providing a promising solution for multifunctional applications further beyond.展开更多
