Abstract
Graphene-HgCdTe heterostructure based mid wave IR (MWIR) detectors are being designed for NASA Earth Science applications. Combining Density Functional Theory (DFT) based calculations of the bandstructure with carrier generation and transport model of this detector, we study the essential physics of this novel detector design and project its performance. Combining the best of both these materials can yield high performance and superior detection capabilities.
