HgTe nanocrystals offer a unique combination of broadly tunable optical absorption in the infrared from 1 to 100 µm and photoconductive properties.
However the maturity of the current device remains far weaker what have been achieve for solar cell using PbS nanocrystals. Current limitations are the result of limited material development and poor understanding of the electronic structure of the material under colloidal form.
In this talk, I will discuss some of the recent developments relative to HgTe nanocrystal integration into photodiodes operating in the short wave and mid wave infrared. I will present how the concepts of unipolar barrier has been transferred from III-V semiconductor to colloidal HgTe nanocrystal film [1].
Another important limitation to address is tradeoff between the absorption depth (> 1 µm) and the carrier diffusion length (< 100 nm) which make that most current devices have a weak light absorption (10 % of the incident light typically). This issue can be addressed by two strategies which are the development of ink to achieve thick high mobility film [2] and by enhancing the light matter coupling thanks to the introduction of plasmonic resonator.
Finally, I would say a few words about how it is possible to take advantage of intraband transitions in self doped nanocrystal to design mid wave infrared detector [3]
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
