| Abstract: | Highlights: A novel quasi-2D perovskite/Weyl semimetal (Co3Sn2S2) heterojunction is fabricated for THz detection. The detector achieves a record-high responsivity of 374.15 A/W and an NEP of 0.29 pW·Hz−1/2 at 0.1 THz. Band engineering and 455 nm laser treatment synergistically enhance THz absorption and carrier extraction. Terahertz radiation exhibits significant potential for communications, imaging, and spectroscopy. However, the development of efficient and low-cost THz detectors remains challenging due to limitations such as insufficient sensitivity, slow response speed, and poor room temperature stability. This work presents an innovative quasi-2D perovskite/Weyl semimetal (Co3Sn2S2) heterojunction THz detector that combines complementary material properties via band engineering. The device achieves a remarkable responsivity of 374.15 A/W, a specific detectivity of 6.27 × 1011 cm·Hz1/2·W−1, and a noise-equivalent power of 0.29 pW·Hz−1/2 at 0.1 THz. This performance stems from the strong THz absorption of the perovskite layer combined with the high carrier mobility and topological surface states of the Co3Sn2S2, which collectively enable ultrafast carrier extraction and suppressed interfacial recombination. This heterojunction design offers a novel strategy for high-performance terahertz detection and facilitates its integration into next-generation portable, integrated devices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
