Current-induced enhancement of photo-response in graphene THz radiation detectors

Résumé

Thermoelectric readout in a graphene terahertz (THz) radiation detector requires a p- n junction across the graphene channel. Even without an intentional p- n junction, two latent junctions can exist in the vicinity of the electrodes/antennas through the proximity to the metal. In a symmetrical structure, these junctions are connected back-to-back and therefore counterbalance each other with regard to rectification of the ac signal. Because of the Peltier effect, a small dc current results in additional heating in one and cooling in another p- n junction, thereby breaking the symmetry. The p- n junctions then no longer cancel, resulting in a greatly enhanced rectified signal. This allows simplifying the design and controlling the sensitivity of THz radiation detectors.
