Semimetals for high-performance photodetection
Open accessAbstract
Semimetals are being explored for their unique advantages in low-energy high-speed photodetection, although they suffer from serious drawbacks such as an intrinsically high dark current. In this Perspective, we envision the exploitation of topological effects in the photoresponse of these materials as a promising route to circumvent these problems. We overview recent studies on photodetection based on graphene and other semimetals, and further discuss the opportunities created by topological effects, along with the additional challenges that they impose on photodetector designs.

Topological semimetals can be used as broadband photodetectors, with intrinsically high dark currents common to topologically trivial, gapless semimetals largely circumvented by exploiting geometric aspects of the nonlinear optical response.
“This has sparked interest in the use of topological semimetals as broadband photodetectors, where the issue of intrinsically high dark currents common to topologically trivial, gapless semimetals can be largely circumvented by exploiting these geometric aspects of the nonlinear optical response92.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
