Abstract

2DEG 2DHG exchange and correlation energies many-body physics MSM photodetector quantum capacitance Unconventional capacitor
This chapter explains a new concept for photodetection through management of internal energies in a two-dimensional charge system (2DCS). The exchange and correlation energy terms, that are associated to quantum mechanical many body interactions of a 2DCS, are manipulated through light generated carriers. This is then manifested as a giant enhancement in capacitance of a metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) variable capacitor with an embedded 2DCS. This feature is controllable by incident light intensity, making the MSM-2DCS device suitable for non-transport based photodetection.
