Widely tunable black phosphorus mid-infrared photodetector

The bandgap of ultrathin black phosphorus can be tuned by a vertical electric field. Here, the authors leverage such electric field to extend the photoresponse of a black phosphorus photodetector to 7.7 μm, opening the doors to various mid-infrared applications.
