Abstract:
Disclosed are a device for detecting a single photon available at a room temperature, which includes: a signal transmitting unit including a first electrode and a second electrode spaced apart from each other and at least one nanostructure disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, the first electrode receiving a signal from the signal generating unit; a photonic crystal lattice structure for receiving a photon, the photonic crystal lattice structure having an optical waveguide for guiding the received photon to the first electrode, the optical waveguide being formed by a plurality of dielectric structures; and a single photon detector for detecting a photon by analyzing a signal output to the second electrode, and a method for detecting a single photon using the device.
Abstract:
A method for forming a PN junction in graphene includes: forming a graphene layer, and forming a DNA molecule layer on a partial region of the graphene layer, the DNA molecule layer having a nucleotide sequence structure designed to provide the graphene layer with a predetermined doping property upon adsorption on the graphene layer. The DNA molecule has a nucleotide sequence structure designed for doping of graphene so that doped graphene has a specific semiconductor property. The DNA molecule is coated on the surface of the graphene layer of which the partial region is exposed by micro patterning, and thereby, PN junctions of various structures may be formed by a region coated with the DNA molecule and a non-coated region in the graphene layer.
