- Description
- We report ultrafast studies on atomically thin Gallium telluride, a 2D metal monochalcogenide that has appeared to display superior photodetection properties in visible frequencies. Pump photon energy-dependent spectroscopic studies reveal that photoinduced carriers in this direct band-gap material undergo indirect relaxation within ?30 ps of photoexcitation, which is at least an order slower than that of most 2D materials. Despite the direct band-gap nature, slow and indirect carrier relaxation places this layered material as a prime candidate in the multitude of atomically thin semiconductor-based photodetectors and highlights the potential for prospective optoelectronic applications. 2023 American Physical Society.
