Ultra-broad spectral photo-response in FePS3 air-stable devices

2021

Van der Waals materials with narrow energy gaps and efficient response over a broadband optical spectral range are key to widen the energy window of nanoscale optoelectronic devices. Here, we characterize FePS as an appealing narrow-gap p-type semiconductor with an efficient broadband photo-response, a high refractive index, and a remarkable resilience against air and light exposure. To enable fast prototyping, we provide a straightforward guideline to determine the thickness of few-layered FePS nanosheets extracted from the optical transmission characteristics of several flakes. The analysis of the electrical photo-response of FePS devices as a function of the excitation energy confirms a …
