Broadband detection of mid-infrared (IR) photons extends to advanced optoelectronic applications such as imaging, sensing, and telecommunications. While graphene offers an attractive platform for broadband visible/IR photodetection, previous efforts improve its responsivity, example, by integrating light-absorbing colloids or waveguide antenna fabrication, were achieved at the cost reduced photon bandwidth. In this work, we demonstrate room-temperature operation a novel mid-IR photodetector...

Abstract Phonons, which are collective excitations in a lattice of atoms or molecules, play major role determining various physical properties condensed matter, such as thermal and electrical conductivities. In particular, phonons graphene interact strongly with electrons; however, unlike usual metals, these interactions between massless Dirac fermions appear to mirror the rather complicated physics those light relativistic electrons. Therefore, fundamental understanding underlying through...
