Abstract
This relates to a device for detecting or converting light or heat energy, the device comprising: a Graphene sheet formed into a scroll such as to provide a monolayer structure in which the radius of curvature of the graphene sheet increases on increasing distance from the longitudinal axis of the scroll.
Claims15
A device for detecting or converting light or heat energy, the device comprising:
- two electrical contacts;
- and
- an active layer sandwiched between the two electrical contacts, wherein the active layer comprises one or more scrolls, characterized in that each scroll consists of a graphene sheet formed into the scroll such as to provide a structure in which the radius of curvature of the graphene sheet increases on increasing distance from the longitudinal axis of each scroll.
