Pt/PbSe optoelectronic receivers designed for 6G and terahertz communication technologies

摘要: Herein PbSe thin films are coated onto glass and semitransparent platinum substrates. The films which are treated as optoelectronic signal receivers are deposited by the thermal evaporation technique under a vacuum pressure of 10−5 mbar. The structural investigations have shown that (glass, Pt)/PbSe films are of polycrystalline nature. Optically, Pt substrates increased the transparency and reflectivity of PbSe films. The energy band gap of PbSe is also increased by 0.12 eV when films are coated onto Pt substrates. In addition the dielectric constant also increased as a result of strong interaction between Pt plasmonic particles and lead selenide. On the other hand, fitting of the imaginary part of the dielectric constant using Drude–Lorentz model has shown that coating of PbSe onto semitransparent Pt substrates increased the drift mobility of lead selenide by four times. Pt substrates resulted in a decrease in the …
