High-performance stretchable photodetectors based on epitaxial CdTe ultrathin films

Yupeng Wu et al.

Summary: In this study, stretchable CdTe photodetectors were successfully fabricated by epitaxially growing ultrathin CdTe films on the surface of NaCl and transferring them onto a PDMS template using a novel exfoliation and transfer technique. The PDs showed broadband photoresponse, high photoresponsivity, high photodetectivity, mechanical durability, and environmental stability.

3D/2D passivation as a secret to success for polycrystalline thin-film solar cells

Deborah L. McGott et al.

Summary: Polycrystalline photovoltaic materials offer low costs and good scalability, but grain boundaries in these materials may affect carrier recombination. Recent studies have shown that passivation of absorber surfaces through the formation of low-dimensional van der Waals materials can improve device performance in polycrystalline thin-film photovoltaics.

Spin-Current Modulation in Hexagonal Buckled ZnTe and CdTe Monolayers for Self-Powered Flexible-Piezo-Spintronic Devices

Manish Kumar Mohanta et al.

Summary: The research demonstrates that new 2D semiconductor materials, ZnTe and CdTe, with strong spin-orbit coupling and large Rashba constants, have a giant out-of-plane piezoelectric coefficient, which can be used to generate high piezo potential in spin field-effect transistors. The Rashba constants of these materials can be effectively modulated by external perturbations, and their wide band gap allows for ample room for modulation in electronic properties.

Charge-carrier thermalization in bulk and monolayer CdTe from first principles

Dinesh Yadav et al.

Summary: The study presents theoretical predictions on photocarrier dynamics in extremely thin CdTe slabs, revealing a significant reduction in photocarrier thermalization time as the CdTe crystal is thinned down to a monolayer. The electron thermalization time becomes independent of excess energy up to 0.5 eV from the conduction band minimum in 2D limit, which is attributed to the degenerate and nearly parabolic lowest conduction band in CdTe. These findings could be valuable for designing novel optoelectronic devices based on CdTe with improved performance using non-equilibrium photoexcited carriers.
