Achieving high sensitivity in hybrid photodetectors based on an organic single crystal and an inorganic nanocrystal array

초록

We demonstrate an approach to enhance the photosensitivity of an organic single-crystal photodetector by combining it with a nanocrystal (NC) array. A systematic study of the dependence of the photodetector performance on illumination wavelength and light power together with the charge carrier mobility reveals that charge separation at the single-crystal/CdSe NC interface and subsequent electron trapping in the CdSe NCs generates effective photoconductive gain by hole circulation through the high-mobility single crystal. As a result, the responsivity and specific detectivity reached values up to 50 A W-1 and 2 x 10(9) cm Hz(1/2) W-1, respectively.
