Dual gated bilayer graphene shows photothermal response

Graphene is seen as a potential candidate for photodetection applications. Now, the researchers have studied dual gated bilayer graphene to observe the gating effect on its photothermal response. They have found a significant role of hot electron thermal relaxation in defining the photovoltaic response of graphene.
