On the Fabrication of Graphene p-n Junctions and Their Application for Detecting Terahertz Radiation

Zusammenfassung

A new method for the formation of lateral p-n junctions in epitaxial graphene with the use of UV (ultraviolet) radiation is considered. The UV illumination method makes it possible to obtain large-size p-n junctions. Such p-n junctions are investigated in the photocurrent and photoconductivity modes under irradiation with terahertz radiation. The mechanisms of terahertz photoresponse in graphene p-n junctions are discussed.
