    Applications of 2D-Layered Palladium Diselenide and Its van der Waals Heterostructures in Electronics and Optoelectronics
    (Berlin ; Heidelberg [u.a.] : Springer, 2021) Wang, Y.; Pang, J.; Cheng, Q.; Han, L.; Li, Y.; Meng, X.; Ibarlucea, B.; Zhao, H.; Yang, F.; Liu, H.; Liu, H.; Zhou, W.; Wang, X.; Rümmeli, M.; Zhang, Y.; Cuniberti, G.
    The rapid development of two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides has been possible owing to their special structures and remarkable properties. In particular, palladium diselenide (PdSe2) with a novel pentagonal structure and unique physical characteristics have recently attracted extensive research interest. Consequently, tremendous research progress has been achieved regarding the physics, chemistry, and electronics of PdSe2. Accordingly, in this review, we recapitulate and summarize the most recent research on PdSe2, including its structure, properties, synthesis, and applications. First, a mechanical exfoliation method to obtain PdSe2 nanosheets is introduced, and large-area synthesis strategies are explained with respect to chemical vapor deposition and metal selenization. Next, the electronic and optoelectronic properties of PdSe2 and related heterostructures, such as field-effect transistors, photodetectors, sensors, and thermoelectric devices, are discussed. Subsequently, the integration of systems into infrared image sensors on the basis of PdSe2 van der Waals heterostructures is explored. Finally, future opportunities are highlighted to serve as a general guide for physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and engineers. Therefore, this comprehensive review may shed light on the research conducted by the 2D material community.

    Advances in group-III-nitride photodetectors
    (Sharjah [u.a.] : Bentham Open, 2010) Rivera, C.; Pereiro, J.; Navarro, A.; Muñoz, E.; Brandt, O.; Grahn, H.T.
    Group-III nitrides are considered to be a strategic technology for the development of ultraviolet photodetectors due to their remarkable properties in terms of spectral selectivity, radiation hardness, and noise. The potential advantages of these materials were initially obscured by their large density of intrinsic defects. The advances were thus associated in general with improvements in material quality. Although technology still also needs improvement, efforts are being intensified in the fabrication of advanced structures for photodetector applications. In particular, this review discusses the recent progress in group-III-nitride photodetectors, emphasizing the work reported on quantum-well-based photodetectors, the use of novel structures exploiting the effect of piezoelectric polarization-induced fields, and polarization-sensitive photodetectors. Furthermore, some ideas can be generalized to other material systems such as ZnO and their related compounds, which exhibit the same crystal structure as group-III nitrides. © Rivera et al.; Licensee Bentham Open.
