摘要：

Light-matter interaction is a long-lasting theme in condensed matter physics and optoelectronics. Light detection in different wavelength regimes is the foundation of a wide range of sensing, imaging, medical and surveillance technologies. Here I will discuss the applications of transition-metal oxides, hybrid organo-metal perovskites and functional nanomaterials in “binary” mixed-dimensional heterostructures with proper bandgaps and architectures to detect photons with different wavelengths. First, for visible light detection, we demonstrate that combining 3D hybrid perovskites with high-mobility 1D carbon nanotubes or 2D two-dimensional metal dichalcogenides significantly enhances charge transport and device performance [1-3]. Second, we report a mid-infrared (up to 10 um) mixed-dimensional photodetector enabled via coupling graphene with a narrow bandgap semiconductor Ti₂O₃ [4]. Finally, using epitaxial ferroelectric/semiconductor oxide junctions with a current-perpendicular-to-plane geometry, we achieve a new type of X-ray detector with colossal persistent X-ray-induced photoconductivity [5].
