Article Abstract

Deep-level defects in β-GaO that worsen the response speed and dark current () of photodetectors (PDs) have been a long-standing issue for its application. Herein, an grown single-crystal GaO nanoparticle seed layer (NPSL) was used to shorten the response time and reduce the of metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) PDs. With the NPSL, the was reduced by 4 magnitudes from 0.389 μA to 81.03 pA, and the decay time (τ/τ) decreased from 258/1690 to 62/142 μs at -5 V. In addition, the PDs with the NPSL also exhibit a high responsivity (43.5 A W), high specific detectivity (2.81 × 10 Jones), and large linear dynamic range (61 dB) under 254 nm illumination. The mechanism behind the performance improvement can be attributed to the suppression of the deep-level defects (i.e., self-trapped holes) and increase of the Schottky barrier. The barrier height extracted is increased by 0.18 eV compared with the case without the NPSL. Our work contributes to understanding the relationship between defects and the performance of PDs based on heteroepitaxial β-GaO thin films and provides an important reference for the development of high-speed and ultrasensitive deep ultraviolet PDs.

Time-resolved luminescence assay improves detection sensitivity through eliminating background signal interference. However, it typically requires expensive and bulky instruments equipped with a pulsed light source and high-speed photodetectors. Here, we developed a simple time-resolved luminescence detection method using time-to-space conversion strategy on the microfluidic chip, enabling the sensitive detection of influenza virus nucleic acid with miniature and low costs equipment.

Defects and noise in GaO detectors have traditionally limited their practical application. In this work, by reducing the triethylgallium flow from 200 sccm to 50 sccm, oxygen vacancy was effectively suppressed, leading to a transition in noise from Lorentzian to flicker-type, with a significant decrease in noise current from 0.15 nA to 1.

Carrier dynamics detection in different dimensions (space, time, and energy) with high resolutions plays a pivotal role in the development of modern semiconductor devices, especially in low-dimensional, high-speed, and ultrasensitive devices. Here, a femtosecond electron-based versatile microscopy is reported that combines scanning ultrafast electron microscopy (SUEM) imaging and time-resolved cathodoluminescence (TRCL) detection, which allows for visualizing and decoupling different dynamic processes of carriers involved in surface and bulk in semiconductors with unprecedented spatiotemporal and energetic resolutions. The achieved spatial resolution is better than 10 nm, and the temporal resolutions for SUEM imaging and TRCL detection are ≈500 fs and ≈4.

This study proposes a novel colorimetric method based on the ultraviolet/visible spectrophotometry-colorimetric method (UV/Vis-CM) for detecting and quantifying total triterpenoids in traditional Chinese medicine. By incorporating the colourants 2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde and concentrated sulfuric acid, triterpenoid compounds colour development became more sensitive, and the detection accuracy was significantly improved. 2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde and concentrated sulfuric acid were incorporated in a 1:3 vol ratio at room temperature to react with the total triterpenes for 25 min, incorporated to an ice bath for 5 min, and then detected at the optimal absorption wavelength.

Genetic testing is crucial for precision cancer medicine. However, detecting multiple same-site insertions or deletions (indels) is challenging. Here, we introduce CoHIT (Cas12a-based One-for-all High-speed Isothermal Test), a one-pot CRISPR-based assay for indel detection.
