چکیده
It is commonly assumed that photocurrent in two-dimensional systems with centrosymmetric lattice generated at structural inhomogenities, such as p-n junctions. Here, we study an alternative mechanism of generation associated inhomogenity the driving electromagnetic field, termed 'plasmonic drag'. direct momentum transfer from field to conduction electrons, and can be characterized by a non-local non-linear conductivity $\sigma^{(2)}({\bf q},\omega)$. By constructing classical kinetic model full account non-locality, show it resonantly enhanced for wave phase velocity coinciding electron Fermi velocity. The enhancement interpreted locking between electrons wave. We discuss possible experiment where non-uniform created propagating graphene plasmon, find upper limit current responsivity vs plasmon This set competition growing q},\omega)$ diverging energy approaches

Plasmonic Hot Electron Induced Photocurrent Response at MoS2-Metal Junctions.
We investigate the wavelength- and polarization-dependence of photocurrent signals generated at few-layer MoS2-metal junctions through spatially resolved photocurrent measurements. When incident photon energy is above the direct bandgap of few-layer MoS2, the maximum photocurrent response occurs for the light polarization direction parallel to the metal electrode edge, which can be attributed t...

Photoexcitation of graphene leads to an interesting sequence of phenomena, some of which can be exploited in optoelectronic devices based on graphene. In particular, the efficient and ultrafast generation of an electron distribution with an elevated electron temperature and the concomitant generation of a photo-thermoelectric voltage at symmetry-breaking interfaces is of interest for photosensi...
متن کاملEnergy-driven drag at charge neutrality in graphene.
Coulomb coupling in graphene heterostructures results in vertical energy transfer between electrons in proximal layers. We show that, in the presence of correlated density inhomogeneity in the layers, vertical energy transfer has a strong impact on lateral charge transport. In particular, for Coulomb drag, its contribution dominates over conventional momentum drag near zero doping. The dependen...

Recent measurements revealed an anomalous Coulomb drag in graphene, hinting at new physics at charge neutrality. The anomalous drag is explained by a new mechanism based on energy transport, which involves interlayer energy transfer, coupled to charge flow via lateral heat currents and thermopower. The old and new drag mechanisms are governed by distinct physical effects, resulting in starkly d...

In order to realize solar cells with technologically useful performance, intensive efforts are being directed towards the development of novel device architectures and components. So far, high power conversion effi ciencies exceeding 5% have been reached with dye-sensitized [ 1 ] or polymer blend-based solar cells, [ 2 ] wherein very fast interfacial charge transfer occurs. However, charge tran...
