Fig. 2

a Detector responsivity, Rv, as a function of Vtg for Vbg = 0 V (black), Vbg = −1.4 V (blue) and Vbg = 1.5 V (red) measured in response to f = 0.13 THz radiation. T = 10 K. Inset illustrates band profiles in the vicinity of the single and dual-gated interface when Vbg and Vtg are of opposite polarities. Green arrows illustrate interband tunnelling. b, c Normalized transconductance F versus Vtg obtained by numerical differentiation of the device resistance for Vbg = 0 V (b) and Vbg = 1.5 V (c). Note, F(Vtg) dependencies are fairly symmetric whereas the Rv(Vtg) is highly asymmetric for the same Vbg (a). d, e Rv from a normalized to the channel resistance r2pt as a function of Vtg for given Vbg.
