AbstractAbstract Title: Resolving competing light-to-electricity conversion mechanisms in nano-photodetectors for improved optoelectronic device performance Efficient photodetectors, essential components in technologies like telecommunications, medical imaging, and environmental monitoring, often face limitations due to competing electrical and thermal effects at very small scales. At the nanoscale, these two effects—the photovoltaic (PV) effect, where light directly generates electrical current, and th
