Abstract

Abstract : In article number1701726, by Hui Wang and co‐workers, a silicon‐nanowire modified metal‐semiconductor nanostructure is fabricated to induce a large lateral photovoltaic effect (LPE). The increased sensitivity of LPE is beneficial to high‐performance position‐sensitive photodetectors. The strong localized surface plasmons (LSPs) supported by silver nanoparticles contributed to the enhancement of light trapping and photo‐induced carrier generation. These novel LSPs propelled methods expand excellent application prospects of photoelectric devices.
