Recently, Professor Liu Zeng and Professor Zhang Jiahan from the School of Electronic Information Engineering at Inner Mongolia University, in collaboration with the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Key Laboratory of Intelligent Communication Sensing and Signal Processing, published an important research paper in the top-tier optics journal Laser & Photonics Reviews (Impact Factor: 10.0, CAS Q1, Top in Optics). The paper is titled:
“Artificial Interfacial Quasi-Electric Field: A Pathway to Promote Ga₂O₃ Photodetectors”

Research Highlights
This study pioneers the use of an artificial interfacial quasi-electric field as a novel strategy to enhance the performance of Ga₂O₃-based photodetectors, a promising material for next-generation solar-blind ultraviolet detection. By precisely engineering the interfacial field within the device structure, the research effectively boosts:
This approach addresses long-standing challenges in the Ga₂O₃ optoelectronics field and provides a new design paradigm for high-performance, wide-bandgap photodetectors.
