Short-wave infrared organic phototransistors with strong infrared-absorbing polytriarylamine by electron-transfer doping
Abstract Short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) sensors have attracted keen attention due to the increasing necessity in a variety of scientific and industrial applications, including biomedical and information technology fields. Because conventional SWIR sensors are made of inorganic materials with rigid...

Abstract Short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) sensors have attracted keen attention due to the increasing necessity in a variety of scientific and industrial applications, including biomedical and information technology fields.
