We analyze the modulation characteristics of the uncooled terahertz (THz) and infrared (IR) detectors using the variation of the density and effective temperature of the two-dimensional electron-hole plasma in uniform graphene layers (GLs) and perforated graphene layers (PGLs) due to the absorption of THz and IR radiation. The performance of the photodetectors (both the GL-photoresistor and the PGL-based barrier photodiodes) are compared. Their characteristics are also compared with the GL reverse-biased photodiodes. The obtained results allow to evaluate the ultimate modulation frequencies of these photodetectors and can be used for their optimization.

We have studied the optical properties of two-dimensional (2D) Schottky photodiode heterojunctions made of chemical vapor deposited (CVD) graphene on n- and p-type Silicon (Si) substrates. Much better rectification behavior is observed from the diode
s fabricated on n- Si substrates in comparison with the devices on p-Si substrates in dark condition. Also, graphene/n-Si photodiodes show a considerable responsivity of 270 mA/W within the silicon spectral range in DC reverse bias condition. The present results are furthermore compared with that of a molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)/p-type silicon photodiodes.
We study the operation of infrared photodetectors based on van der Waals heterostructures with the multiple graphene layers (GLs) and n-type emitter and collector contacts. The operation of such GL infrared photodetectors (GLIPs) is associated with t
he photoassisted escape of electrons from the GLs into the continuum states in the conduction band of the barrier layers due to the interband photon absorption, the propagation of these electrons and the electrons injected from the emitter across the heterostructure and their collection by the collector contact. The space charge of the holes trapped in the GLs provides a relatively strong injection and large photoelectric gain. We calculate the GLIP responsivity and dark current detectivity as functions of the energy of incident infrared photons and the structural parameters. It is shown that both the periodic selective doping of the inter-GL barrier layers and the GL doping lead to a pronounced variation of the GLIP spectral characteristics, particularly near the interband absorption threshold, while the doping of GLs solely results in a substantial increase in the GLIP detectivity. The doping engineering opens wide opportunities for the optimization of GLIPs for operation in different parts of radiation spectrum from near infrared to terahertz.
We propose and evaluate the vertical cascade terahertz and infrared photodetectors based on multiple-graphene-layer (GL) structures with thin tunnel barrier layers (made of tungsten disulfide or related materials). The photodetector operation is asso
ciated with the cascaded radiative electron transitions from the valence band in GLs to the conduction band in the neighboring GLs (interband- and inter-GL transitions). We calculate the spectral dependences of the responsivity and detectivity for the vertical cascade interband GL- photodetectors (I-GLPDs) with different number of GLs and doping levels at different bias voltages in a wide temperature range. We show the possibility of an effective manipulation of the spectral characteristics by the applied voltage. The spectral characteristics depend also on the GL doping level that opens up the prospects of using I-GLPDs in the multi-color systems. The advantages of I-GLPDs under consideration are associated with their sensitivity to the normal incident radiation, weak temperature dependence of the dark current as well as high speed of operation. The comparison of the proposed I-GLDs with the quantum-well intersubband photodectors demonstrates the superiority of the former, including a better detectivity at room temperature and a higher speed. The vertical cascade I-GLDs can also surpass the lateral p-i-n GLDs in speed.
A stochastic nonlinear electrical characteristic of graphene is reported. Abrupt current changes are observed from voltage sweeps between the source and drain with an on/off ratio up to 10^(3). It is found that graphene channel experience the topolog
ical change. Active radicals in an uneven graphene channel cause local changes of electrostatic potential. Simulation results based on the self-trapped electron and hole mechanism account well for the experimental data. Our findings illustrate an important issue of reliable electron transports and help for the understanding of transport properties in graphene devices.
Graphene is an ideal material for hot-electron bolometers, due to its low heat capacity and weak electron-phonon coupling. Nanostructuring graphene with quantum dot constrictions yields detectors with extraordinarily high intrinsic responsivity, high
er than 1x10^9 V/W at 3K. The sensing mechanism is bolometric in nature: the quantum confinement gap causes a strong dependence of the electrical resistance on the electron temperature. Here we show that this quantum confinement gap does not impose a limitation on the photon energy for light detection and these quantum dot bolometers work in a very broad spectral range, from terahertz, through telecom to ultraviolet radiation, with responsivity independent of wavelength. We also measure the power dependence of the response. Although the responsivity decreases with increasing power, it stays higher than 1x10^8 V/W in a wide range of absorbed power, from 1 pW to 0.4 nW.
