Enhanced gain and detectivity of unipolar barrier solar blind avalanche photodetector via lattice and band engineering

The limited breakdown electric field and the high dark current hider the application of solar blind avalanche photodiodes. Here, Zhang et al., by lattice and band engineering, construct a unipolar barrier avalanche photodiode with suppressed dark current and reinforced reverse breakdown.
