Popis: A wide variety of two-dimensional (2D) metal dichalcogenide compounds have recently attracted much research interest due to their very high photoresponsivities (R) making them excellent candidates for optoelectronic applications. High R in 2D photoconductors is associated with trap state dynamics leading to a photogating effect, which is often manifested by a fractional power dependence (γ) of the photocurrent (Iph) at an effective illumination intensity (Peff). Here we present photoconductivity studies as a function of gate voltages, over a wide temperature range (20 K to 300 K) of field-effect transistors fabricated using thin layers of mechanically exfoliated Rhenium Diselenide (ReSe2). We obtain very high responsivities R ∼ 16500 A/W and external quantum efficiency (EQE) ∼ 3.2 × 106% (at 140 K, Vg = 60 V and Peff = 0.2 nW). A strong correlation between R and γ was established by investigating the dependence of these two quantities at various gate voltages and over a wide range of temperatures. Such correlations indicate the importance of trap state mediated photogating and its role in promoting high photo-responsivities in these materials. We believe such correlations can offer valuable insights for the design and development of high-performance photoactive devices using 2D materials.
