TLDR
Normal state YBa2Cu3O7−δ films, epitaxially grown "off-c axis" with tilt angles up to 20°, are shown to be fast thermoelectric detectors for radiation from UV to far infrared wavelengths as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
Normal state YBa2Cu3O7−δ films, epitaxially grown ‘‘off‐c axis’’ with tilt angles up to 20° are shown to be fast thermoelectric detectors for radiation from UV to far infrared wavelengths. Upon radiation heating of the tilted films a thermoelectric voltage arises due to the anisotropy of the thermopower in YBa2Cu3O7−δ. The response time is limited by the decaying temperature gradient and thus by heat diffusion. For thin films we have measured a response time from ≲1 ns in the UV to ∼5 ns in the far infrared. Because of the wavelength dependent reflectivity, the responsivity of the films varies between 0.5 V/MW and 20 V/MW. Thus, thin tilted YBa2Cu3O7−δ films can be used as fast room temperature detectors over a wide spectral range.

Designing a robustly metallic noncenstrosymmetric ruthenate oxide with large thermopower anisotropy

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the electronic structure is unaffected by the inclusion of spin-orbit interactions, and that cation-ordered SrCaRu2O6 exhibits a large thermopower anisotropy derived from its polar structure.

Time dependence of laser-induced thermoelectric voltages in La1−xCaxMnO3 and YBa2Cu3O7−δ thin films

TL;DR: In this paper, the time dependence of laser-induced thermoelectric voltage (LITV) in La1−xCaxMnO3 (LCMO) or YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) thin films grown on a vicinal SrTiO3 substrate is derived from the fitted curve of the measured time evolution of the LITV, several parameters of a LCMO thin film are deduced.

Transverse thermoelectric response of a tilted metallic multilayer structure

TL;DR: In this article, a tilted multilayer structure for detecting light was constructed by sintering of a compressed stack of copper/constantan/copper foils and cutting the stack obliquely to its axis.
