Graphene is ideally suited for photonic and optoelectronic applications, with a variety of photodetectors (PDs) in the visible, near-infrared (NIR), and THz reported to date, as well as thermal detectors in the mid-infrared (MIR). Here, we present a room temperature-MIR-PD where the pyroelectric response of a LiNbO3 crystal is transduced with high gain (up to 200) into resistivity modulation for graphene, leading to a temperature coefficient of resistance up to 900%/K, two orders of magnitude higher than the state of the art, for a device area of 300x300um2. This is achieved by fabricating a floating metallic structure that concentrates the charge generated by the pyroelectric substrate on the top-gate capacitor of the graphene channel. This allows us to resolve temperature variations down to 15umK at 1 Hz, paving the way for a new generation of detectors for MIR imaging and spectroscopy

Fast, room temperature imaging at THz and sub-THz frequencies is an interesting feature which could unleash the full potential of plenty applications in security, healthcare and industrial production. In this Letter we introduce micromechanical bolom
eters based on silicon nitride trampoline membranes as broad-range detectors, down to the sub-THz frequencies. They show, at the largest wavelengths, room-temperature noise-equivalent-powers comparable to state-of-the-art commercial devices (~100 pW Hz-1/2); adding the good operation speed and the easy, large-scale fabrication process, the trampoline membrane could be the next candidate for cheap, room temperature THz imaging and related applications.
Optical excitation and subsequent decay of graphene plasmons can produce a significant increase in charge-carrier temperature. An efficient method to convert this temperature elevation into a measurable electrical signal at room temperature can enabl
e important mid-infrared applications such as thermal sensing and imaging in ubiquitous mobile devices. However, as appealing as this goal might be, it is still unrealized due to the modest thermoelectric coefficient and weak temperature-dependence of carrier transport in graphene. Here, we demonstrate mid-infrared graphene detectors consisting of arrays of plasmonic resonators interconnected by quasi one-dimensional nanoribbons. Localized barriers associated with disorder in the nanoribbons produce a dramatic temperature dependence of carrier transport, thus enabling the electrical detection of plasmon decay in the nearby graphene resonators. We further realize a device with a subwavelength footprint of 5*5 um2 operating at 12.2 um, an external responsivity of 16 mA/W, a low noise-equivalent power of 1.3 nW/Hz1/2 at room temperature, and an operational frequency potentially beyond gigahertz. Importantly, our device is fabricated using large-scale graphene and possesses a simple two-terminal geometry, representing an essential step toward the realization of on-chip graphene mid-infrared detector arrays.
The unusual quantum Hall effect (QHE) in graphene is often discussed in terms of Dirac fermions moving with a linear dispersion relation. The same phenomenon will be explained in terms of the more traditional composite bosons, which move with a linea
r dispersion relation. The electron (wave packet) moves easier in the direction [1,1,0,c-axis] = [1,1,0] of the honeycomb lattice than perpendicular to it, while the hole moves easier in [0,0,1]. Since electrons and holes move in different channels, the number densities can be high especially when the Fermi surface has necks. The strong QHE arises from the phonon exchange attraction in the neighborhood of the neck Fermi surfaces. The plateau observed for the Hall conductivity and the accompanied resistivity drop is due to the Bose-Einstein condensation of the c-bosons, each forming from a pair of one-electron--two-fluxons c-fermions by phonon-exchange attraction.
Allotropes of carbon, such as diamond and graphene, are among the best conductors of heat. We monitored the evolution of thermal conductivity in thin graphite as a function of temperature and thickness and found an intimate link between high conducti
vity, thickness, and phonon hydrodynamics. The room temperature in-plane thermal conductivity of 8.5-micrometer-thick graphite was 4300 watts per meter-kelvin-a value well above that for diamond and slightly larger than in isotopically purified graphene. Warming enhances thermal diffusivity across a wide temperature range, supporting partially hydrodynamic phonon flow. The enhancement of thermal conductivity that we observed with decreasing thickness points to a correlation between the out-of-plane momentum of phonons and the fraction of momentum relaxing collisions. We argue that this is due to the extreme phonon dispersion anisotropy in graphite.
Uncooled Terahertz (THz) photodetectors (PDs) showing fast (ps) response and high sensitivity (noise equivalent power (NEP) < $nWHz^{-1/2}$) over a broad (0.5THz-10THz) frequency range are needed for applications in high-resolution spectroscopy (rela
tive accuracy ~ $10^{-11}$), metrology, quantum information, security, imaging, optical communications. However, present THz receivers cannot provide the required balance between sensitivity, speed, operation temperature and frequency range. Here, we demonstrate an uncooled THz PD combining the low (~2000 $k_{B}{mu}m^{-2}$) electronic specific heat of high mobility (> 50000 $cm^{2}V^{-1}s^{-1}$) hBN-encapsulated graphene with the asymmetric field-enhancement produced by a bow-tie antenna resonating at 3 THz. This produces a strong photo-thermoelectric conversion, which simultaneously leads to a combination of high sensitivity (NEP $leq$ 160 $pWHz^{-1/2}$), fast response time ($leq 3.3 ns$) and a four orders of magnitude dynamic range, making our devices the fastest, broadband, low noise, room temperature THz PD to date.
