In this paper, we demonstrate an ultraviolet photodetector (UV-PD) that uses coalesced gallium nitride (GaN) nanorods (NRs) on a graphene/Si (111) substrate grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. We report a highly sensitive, self-powered, and hybrid GaN NR/graphene/Si (111) PD with a rela...
