Here, we propose a flexoelectric photodetector based on a thin-film heterostructure. This prototypical device is demonstrated by epitaxial LaFeO3 thin films grown on LaAlO3 substrates. A giant strain gradient of the order of 106/m is achieved in LaFeO3 thin films, giving rise to an obvious flexoelectric polarization and generating a significant photovoltaic effect in the LaFeO3-based heterostructures with nanosecond response under light illumination. This work not only demonstrates a novel self-powered photodetector different from the traditional interface-type structures, such as the p–n and Schottky junctions but also opens an avenue to design practical flexoelectric devices for nanoelectronics applications.}, cin = {ER-C-1}, ddc = {660}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)ER-C-1-20170209}, pnm = {5351 - Platform for Correlative, In Situ and Operando Characterization (POF4-535)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5351}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, pubmed = {pmid:33759536}, UT = {WOS:000641160500034}, doi = {10.1021/acs.nanolett.1c00055}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/904946}, }
