A group of physicists led by NU Assistant Professor Viktor Brus proposed a novel high-performance and radiation-resistant UV-vis-NIR heterojunction photodiode as part of their research project launched in January 2022 with a grant from NU. Typically, the process of combining different semiconductor materials with unique properties leads to a decrease in the detectivity and response time of heterojunction diodes.
