Abstract
The introduction of the concept of topology into condensed matter physics has greatly deepened our fundamental understanding of transport properties of electrons as well as all other forms of quasi particles in solid materials. It has also fostered a paradigm shift from conventional electronic/optoelectronic devices to novel quantum devices based on topology-enabled quantum device functionalities that transfer energy and information with unprecedented precision, robustness, and efficiency. In this article, the recent research progress in topological quantum devices is reviewed. We first outline the topological spintronic devices underlined by the spin-momentum locking property of topology. We then highlight the topological electronic devices based on quantized electron and dissipationless spin conductivity protected by topology. Finally, we discuss quantum optoelectronic devices with topology-redefined photoexcitation and emission. The field of topological quantum devices is only in its infancy, we envision many significant advances in the near future.

Abstract
Structural and electronic properties of ultrathin nanocrystals of chalcogenide Bi2(Tex Se1-x)3 were studied. The nanocrystals were formed from the parent compound Bi2Te2Se on as-grown and thermally oxidized Si(100) substrates using Ar-assisted physical vapor deposition, resulting in well-faceted single crystals several quintuple layers thick and a few hundreds nanometers large. The chemical composition and structure of the nanocrystals were analyzed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron backscattering, and X-ray diffraction. The electron transport through nanocrystals connected to superconducting Nb electrodes demonstrated Josephson behavior, with the predominance of the topological channels [Stolyarov et al. Commun. Mater., 2020, 1, 38]. The present paper focuses on the effect of the growth conditions on the morphology, structural, and electronic properties of nanocrystals.

Abstract
Due to the wide spectral absorption and ultrafast electron dynamical response under optical excitation, topological insulator (TI) was proposed to have appealing application in next-generation photonic and optoelectronic devices. Whereas, the bandgap-free speciality of Dirac surface states usually leads to a quick relaxation of photoexcited carriers, making the transient excitons difficult to manipulate in isolated TIs. Growth of TI Bi2Te3/Ge heterostructures can promote the specific lifetime and quantity of long-lived excitons, offering the possibility of designing original near-infrared optoelectronic devices, however, the construction of TI Bi2Te3/Ge heterostructures has yet to be investigated. Herein, the high-quality Bi2Te3/Ge heterojunction with clear interface was prepared by physical vapor deposition strategy. A significant photoluminescence quenching behaviour was observed by experiments, which was attributed to the spontaneous excitation transfer of electrons at heterointerface via theoretical analysis. Then, a self-powered heterostructure photodetector was fabricated, which demonstrated a maximal detectivity of 1.3 × 1011Jones, an optical responsivity of 0.97 A W-1, and ultrafast photoresponse speed (12.1μs) under 1064 nm light illumination. This study offers a fundamental understanding of the spontaneous interfacial exciton transfer of TI-based heterostructures, and the as-fabricated photodetectors with excellent performance provided an important step to meet the increasing demand for novel optoelectronic applications in the future.

Abstract
2D layered materials with diverse exciting properties have recently attracted tremendous interest in the scientific community. Layered topological insulator Bi2Se3 comes into the spotlight as an exotic state of quantum matter with insulating bulk states and metallic Dirac-like surface states. Its unique crystal and electronic structure offer attractive features such as broadband optical absorption, thickness-dependent surface bandgap and polarization-sensitive photoresponse, which enable 2D Bi2Se3 to be a promising candidate for optoelectronic applications. Herein, we present a comprehensive summary on the recent advances of 2D Bi2Se3 materials. The structure and inherent properties of Bi2Se3 are firstly described and its preparation approaches (i.e., solution synthesis and van der Waals epitaxy growth) are then introduced. Moreover, the optoelectronic applications of 2D Bi2Se3 materials in visible-infrared detection, terahertz detection, and opto-spintronic device are discussed in detail. Finally, the challenges and prospects in this field are expounded on the basis of current development.

Abstract
Topological insulators (TIs) possess exciting nonlinear optical properties due to presence of metallic surface states with the Dirac fermions and are predicted as a promising material for broadspectral phodotection ranging from UV (ultraviolet) to deep IR (infrared) or terahertz range. The recent experimental reports demonstrating nonlinear optical properties are mostly carried out on non-flexible substrates and there is a huge demand for the fabrication of high performing flexible optoelectronic devices using new exotic materials due to their potential applications in wearable devices, communications, sensors, imaging etc. Here first time we integrate the thin films of TIs (Bi2Te3) with the flexible PET (polyethylene terephthalate) substrate and report the strong light absorption properties in these devices. Owing to small band gap material, evolving bulk and gapless surface state conduction, we observe high responsivity and detectivity at NIR (near infrared) wavelengths (39 A/W, 6.1 × 108 Jones for 1064 nm and 58 A/W, 6.1 × 108 Jones for 1550 nm). TIs based flexible devices show that photocurrent is linearly dependent on the incident laser power and applied bias voltage. Devices also show very fast response and decay times. Thus we believe that the superior optoelectronic properties reported here pave the way for making TIs based flexible optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
The performance of lead halogen perovskite is often closely related to its crystal structure. However, the chemical and optoelectronic properties of tetragonal phase single crystal MAPbCl3 (SC T-MAPbCl3) are rarely reported. In this study, we synthesized SC T-MAPbCl3 with the P4/mcc (124) space group by a modified inverse temperature crystallization (M-ITC) method. The twist angle of the Cl anion on the equatorial plane of the PbCl64- octahedron around the c-axis is 8.4°. The resistance (62 MΩ) of SC T-MAPbCl3 obviously decreased to 3 MΩ under 395 and 404 nm ultraviolet light. The photodetector based on SC T-MAPbCl3 under 3 V bias voltage exhibits high sensitivity (2.60 μA cm-2 under 1 W m-2 light intensity). The high selectivity of the device is in the ultraviolet region, rather than the visible region.

Abstract
Owing to their intriguing characteristics, the ongoing pursuit of emerging mono-elemental two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets beyond graphene is an exciting research area for next-generation applications. Herein, we demonstrate that highly crystalline 2D boron (B) nanosheets can be efficiently synthesized by employing a modified liquid phase exfoliation method. Moreover, carrier dynamics has been systematically investigated by using femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy, demonstrating an ultrafast recovery speed during carrier transfer. Based on these results, the optoelectronic performance of the as-synthesized 2D B nanosheets has been investigated by applying them in photoelectrochemical (PEC)-type and field effect transistor (FET)-type photodetectors. The experimental results revealed that the as-fabricated PEC device not only exhibited a favourable self-powered capability, but also a high photoresponsivity of 2.9-91.7 μA W-1 in the UV region. Besides, the FET device also exhibited a tunable photoresponsivity in the range of 174-281.3 μA W-1 under the irradiation of excited light at 405 nm. We strongly believe that the current work shall pave the path for successful utilization of 2D B nanosheets in electronic and optoelectronic devices. Moreover, the proposed method can be utilized to explore other mono-elemental 2D nanomaterials.

Abstract
Alloy engineering and heterostructures designing are two efficient methods to improve the photosensitivity of two-dimensional (2D) material-based photodetectors. Herein, we report the first-principle calculation about the band structure of SnS1-xSex (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) and synthesize these alloy nanosheets. Systematic measurements indicate that SnS0.25Se0.75 exhibits the highest hole mobility (0.77 cm2·V-1·s-1) and a moderate photoresponsivity (4.44 × 102 A·W-1) with fast response speed (32.1/57.5 ms) under 635 nm irradiation. Furthermore, to reduce the dark current and strengthen the light absorption, a self-driven SnS0.25Se0.75/n-Si device has been fabricated. The device achieved a preeminent photo-responsivity of 377 mA·W-1, a detectivity of ∼1011 Jones and Ilight/Idark ratio of ∼4.5 × 102. In addition, the corresponding rising/decay times are as short as 4.7/3.9 ms. Moreover, a broadband sensitivity from 635 to 1200 nm is obtained and the related photoswitching curves are stable and reproducibility. Noticeably, the above parameters are comparable or superior to the most of reported group IVA layered materials-based self-driven photodetectors. Last, the synergistic effects between the SnS0.25Se0.75 nanosheets and the n-Si have been discussed by the band alignment. These brilliant results will pave a new pathway for the development of next generation 2D alloy-based photoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM)-structured GaAs-based nanowire photodetectors have been widely reported because they are promising as an alternative for high-performance devices. Owing to the Schottky built-in electric fields in the MSM structure photodetectors, enhancements in photoresponsivity can be realized. Thus, strengthening the built-in electric field is an efficacious way to make the detection capability better. In this study, we fabricate a single GaAs nanowire MSM photodetector with superior performance by doping-adjusting the Fermi level to strengthen the built-in electric field. An outstanding responsivity of 1175 A/W is obtained. This is two orders of magnitude better than the responsivity of the undoped sample. Scanning photocurrent mappings and simulations are performed to confirm that the enhancement in responsivity is because of the increase in the hole Schottky built-in electric field, which can separate and collect the photogenerated carriers more effectively. The eloquent evidence clearly proves that doping-adjusting the Fermi level has great potential applications in high-performance GaAs nanowire photodetectors and other functional photodetectors.
