Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to introduce photodetectors based on low-dimensional materials. It will start with an overview of the development of two-dimensional materials and their application in photodetection. Subsequently, the development of nanowire photodetectors and the obstacle in how to realize high gain in photodetection will be discussed.
