  • Abstract
    We report on the implementation of a terahertz detector utilizing two-dimensional electronic fluid in a high electron mobility transistor. The device response is compared with the predictions of the hydrodynamic theory of electronic fluid. The results indicate the viscosity of electronic fluid might be larger than estimated previously. We also report on the unusual polarization dependence of the detector response.
