Description

Bandgap engineered bismuth chalcogenides for uncooled infrared detectors. Uncooled infrared detectors are core enabling technologies in civilian and defense applications such as night vision, surveillance, automated driving, and firefighting. However, the industry application of two-dimensional materials in uncooled infrared detectors is hindered by their low device performance and poor fabrication scalability. This project aims to develop low-cost, high performance uncooled infrared detectors with high fabrication scalability by growing bandgap engineered two-dimensional bismuth chalcogenides with controlled doping and enhanced light absorption. This will place Australia in a very competitive position in the billion-dollar uncooled infrared detector market whilst benefit relevant Australian industry sectors.. Scheme: Linkage Projects.
