New Content Item It is with sadness that we learnt of the passing of Prof. Zhores I. Alferov on 1 March at the age of 88. Prof. Alferov shared the Nobel Prize in physics in 2000 and made tremendous contributions to the field of compound semiconductors, particularly semiconductor heterostructures, for various devices. Prof. Alferov also served on the Editorial Board of NRL, where he was a member since the journal's inception. We remember Prof. Alferov for his extraordinary contribution to both science and to NRL. Our thoughts are with his family at this time.

Influence of Mg Doping on ZnO Nanoparticles for Enhanced Photocatalytic Evaluation and Antibacterial Analysis

Featured article: Solution Processed Trilayer Structure for High-Performance Perovskite Photodetector

Metal halide perovskites have attracted extensive interest in photodetector applications. Currently, devices made by metal oxides, metal sulfides, and 2D materials have achieved good responsivity, but have suffered from high dark current, slow response speed, small on-off ratio, and poor stability. Here, the authors report a lateral perovskite trilayer photodetector for achieving high performance. This trilayer device shows good performance with a low dark current, high on-off ratio, high photodetectivity, high responsivity, and high stability comparative to conventional single layer devices. This work provides the way to improve the performance of metal halide perovskite photodetectors.
