Gate-Activated Photoresponse in a Graphene p–n Junction

We study photodetection in graphene near a local electrostatic gate, which enables active control of the potential landscape and carrier polarity. We find that a strong photoresponse only appears when and where a p–n junction is formed, allowing on–off control of photodetection. Photocurrents genera...
