Novel design for fast, sensitive high-energy photon detector

Prof. Long Shibing and his team from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have proposed a novel strategy for a high-energy photon detector with high sensitivity and response speed by coupling the interface pyroelectric effect with the photoconductive effect based on polycrystal Ga-rich GaOx (PGR-GaOx) Schottky photodiode.
