主题范围

Schematic of nanostructured materials and their highly sensitive photodetection capabilities, enabling the detection of light down to the single-photon level

Over the past four to five decades, the detection of light has found extensive applications across diverse fields, including digital imaging, fibre-optic communications, metrology, material and infrastructure inspection, biomedical imaging, night vision and security, motion detection, atmospheric and THz spectroscopy, single-photon detectors, and bolometers, among others. Recent technological advancements have ushered in a new era, demanding ultra-sensitive light detection capabilities that extend beyond the material’s band gap. Achieving this requires the utilization of nanostructures or their hybrid counterparts.Nanostructured materials, arising from processes such as the inherent growth of thin films, deposition or solution casting of quantum dots and nanomaterials, the creation of heterostructures, and the lithographic patterning of materials, have recently exhibited exceptional photodetection capabilities, even down to the single-photon level. At this scale, phenomena like quantum confinement, hot spot formation, and plasmonic effects assume a critical role in the light detection process. This issue is dedicated to addressing the recent progress and emerging developments in light detection, particularly focusing on the utilization of nanostructured materials. The scope of discussion encompasses but is not limited to the following categories:

Nanostructured thin films.
Solution-processed quantum dots or nanomaterials.
Superconducting nanostructures, including meanders or nanowires.
Photodetection techniques involving 2D nanosheets, nanocrystals, and nanowires.
Heterostructures composed of nanolayers.
Hybrid nanomaterials and nanostructures.
Lithographically nanostructured thin films and Superconducting materials
2D Nanolayers and Heterostructures

We aim to provide comprehensive insights into the cutting-edge advancements within these domains and their implications for the future of light detection technology.
