We show that a nanoparticle with a “giant” polarizability α (i.e., with the polarizability volume α′ = α/4πε₀ significantly exceeding the particle volume) placed in the vicinity of a surface experiences a strongly increased ...

A р-ZnTe/n-CdSe heterojunction was used for making polycrystalline ZnTebased UV sensors. The heteropair components have the same crystal structure and close lattice parameters. ZnTe and CdSe were grown using thermal ...
