Optical and electronic devices based on nano-plasma

摘要

A device for detecting electromagnetic radiation, charged particles or photons including a 2-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) and/or a 2-dimensional hole gas (2DHG). The device detects the collective response of the plasma to perturbations of the 2DEG and/or the 2DHG. The device is tunable by using Schottky contacts. The device can be used for high-speed photodetector devices, terahertz sensors, and charged particle sensors.
