Summary: Heterojunction-based gas sensors, constructed by combining vacuum evaporation and r.f. sputtering or atomic layer deposition techniques, show enhanced sensing characteristics and selectivity towards CO gas. The ZnO/SnO2 heterojunction exhibits 6-fold enhancement in sensing response compared to bare SnO2 films, with fast response time and low limit of detection.

Summary: In this study, an optimized design strategy for Ga2O3/GaN heterostructure bi-color Ultraviolet photodetector was presented, which achieved high responsivity and UV-to-visible rejection ratio. The electric field distribution of the optical absorption region was modified by optimizing the doping concentration and thickness ratio of the heterostructure, enabling better separation and transport of photogenerated carriers. Moreover, the band offset modulation of the Ga2O3/GaN heterostructure enhanced the photoconductive gain, leading to successful dual-band ultraviolet detection with high responsivity.

Summary: The interfacial properties of MoS2/4H-SiC heterostructures were studied, and it was found that the valence band offsets increased with increasing MoS2 layer. A strong interlayer interaction was revealed at the 1L MoS2/SiC interface, while Fermi level pinning and surface passivation were achieved at the 4H-SiC (0001) surface. In multilayer MoS2, weak vdW interaction and strong interlayer orbital coupling resulted in type II band alignment and enlarged CBOs and VBOs, while in 1L MoS2/SiC, type I band alignment and asymmetric CBO and VBO were observed.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the optical properties and electronic band offsets of NiO, MoO3, and WO3 oxides, with a focus on the NiO/MoO3 and NiO/WO3 P-N heterojunctions. It was found that both heterojunctions exhibit a type-II band offset, with NiO/MoO3 showing a larger valence band offset. By utilizing XPS and Ultraviolet-Ambient Photoemission spectroscopy, the electronic structures and energy levels of these oxides were deeply investigated.

Summary: The difficulty of fabricating ohmic contacts on wide bandgap semiconductors like 13-Ga2O3 is addressed by inserting an n+-doped metal oxide layer between metal and the semiconductor layers. Pulsed laser deposition was used to deposit high crystallinity films of 13-Ga2O3, Erbium-doped ZnO (ErZO), and Gallium-doped ZnO (GZO). Investigation of the band offsets and electrical properties of ErZO/13-Ga2O3 and GZO/13-Ga2O3 heterojunctions revealed nested gap (type I) structures. The solar blind UV detector with a fork electrode structure of as-grown 13-Ga2O3/ErZO/Ti/Au showed superior performance due to ErZO's low band offset and small work function difference.

Summary: The band characters of β-Ga2O3/GaN heterojunctions are deeply understood by considering the polarization effect of GaN. The type of band alignment and the presence of interfacial energy barriers depend on the strength of the interfacial interactions. Introducing O-dopant into the GaN region can transform the energy barriers into energy grooves. The Ga-terminated β-Ga2O3/GaN heterojunctions possess 2DEG band alignments but exhibit abundant interfacial gap states.
