Two-terminal reconfigurable and non-volatile photovoltaic detectors

Nature Nanotechnology volume 18, pages 1264–1265 (2023)Cite this article

Subjects

Neuromorphic photodetectors are typically volatile and/or complex with multiple gates, leading to reduced energy efficiency for intelligent perception applications. Two-terminal MoS2 photodetectors have now been developed in which electrically driving the migration of sulfur vacancies enables dynamic modulation of the Schottky barriers and the realization of reconfigurable and non-volatile responsivities.
