Excitonic insulator powers room-temperature ultra-sensitive visible to terahertz detection
Phase transitions induce significant changes in the electrical and photonic properties of materials. Ultra-sensitive photodetectors leveraging material phase transitions can be realized near the transition temperature. Photodetectors based on Ta2NiSe5, a room-temperature excitonic insulator phase transition material, exhibit exceptional performance from visible to terahertz frequencies. Specifically, in the terahertz range, the electronic bandwidth is 360 kHz, and the specific detectivity (D*) reaches 5.3 × 1011 cm·Hz1/2·W−1. The van der Waals heterostructure of Ta2NiSe5/WS2 further enhances performance.
