High Responsivity of GLAD Synthesized Isotype WO3/In2O3 Nanocluster

WO ₃ /In ₂ O ₃ nanocluster (NC) was successfully synthesized by using GLAD technique consolidated within an electron beam evaporator system. The crystalline structure of WO ₃ /In ₂ O ₃ NC was investigated by X-Ray Diffraction and the crystallite size was found to be ~ 29.28 nm. The device exhibited an excellent responsivity, detectivity, external quantum efficiency and noise equivalent power of 290.49 A/W, 5.97×10 ¹³ Jones, 9.99×10 ⁴ %, and 7.04×10 ^-14 W at 360 nm respectively. In addition, the device showed rise time/fall time of 0.89 s/0.81s at +3V. The obtained parameters are superior to the reported GLAD synthesized pristine In ₂ O ₃ and WO ₃ nanostructures. The significant enhancement in WO ₃ /In ₂ O ₃ NC device is attributed to the efficient charge carrier separations which lead to the reduction in the electron hole pair recombination. Thus, the overall result provides a novel approach for the synthesis of proficient NC for photodetector application.
