Imperfection in Semiconductors Leading to High Performance Devices
Crystalline perfection is typically pursued in semiconductors to enhance device performance. However, through modeling and experimental work, we show that defects can be strategically employed in a specific detection regime to increase sensitivity to extreme values. GaN diodes are demonstrated to effectively detect high‐energy proton beams at fluxes as

Evaluating the Resistance of Bifacial Perovskite Photodetectors to Xenon Ion Irradiation
Bifacial perovskite photodetectors maintain high efficiency and stability after 231 MeV xenon ion irradiation. Key photodetector parameters remain nearly unchanged at low fluence (1010 nucleons cm−2) and show only moderate degradation at high fluence (1011 nucleons cm−2), highlighting their strong radiation tolerance and suitability for optoelectronic ...

A heterointerface‐functionalized Schottky photodiode (HF‐SPD) is developed to explore the photoelectric capabilities of low‐temperature oxide semiconductors. Besides the remarkable UV detection capability, the bias‐tunable photo response endows HF‐SPD with the unique wavelength selectivity.

This study uncovers two overlooked bottlenecks in cryogenic laser cooling of solids: symmetry‐driven fluorescence trapping and water vapor condensation. We demonstrate that breaking sample symmetry enhances fluorescence escape, while condensation dominates parasitic heating below 135 K.
