of InN with high mobility was initially estimated to be 1.89 eV from the optical absorption of polycrystalline films. [1,2] Since the large amounts of defects resulted in the degenerate doping of carriers, E G determined by optical absorption apparently increased, [2] which is called as the Moss-Burstein effect. [3] In fact, highquality single-crystal InN indicated that E G was actually as small as 0.7 eV. [4] Currently, this small bandgap plays an important role in the alloying design for indium gallium nitride semiconductors, and the developments of solar cells are being actively conducted.Here, in the area of 2D materials for which many new materials are being synthesized, [5][6][7] PdSe 2 is the focus because its bandgap has been reported to be located in the far-infrared (FIR) region. It is one of the group 10 noble metal dichalcogenides (NMDCs), and there are a few reports in the 1960s. [8] The E G for bulk PdSe 2 was reported to be %0.4 eV from the temperature dependence of resistivity ρ ∝ expðE G =2k B TÞ under the assumption of an intrinsic semiconductor, where k B and T are the Boltzmann constant and temperature, respectively. [9] This semiconducting nature is systematically understood by the following that electronic structures depend on progressive filling of the d bands and that the Fermi level for PdSe 2 with d 6 is located between the topmost d band and the antibonding (σ*) band. [8,10,11] After the stagnated period, PdSe 2 crystals were resynthesized by a self-flux method in 2017, [12] inspired by density functional theory (DFT) calculations on unique properties derived from a puckered pentagonal structure and a widely tunable E G from 1.43 eV for a monolayer to 0.03 eV for bulk. [13][14][15] The absorption measurement of exfoliated flakes showed negligible E G for bulk and %1.3 eV for a monolayer [12] ; these values are basically consistent with those predicted by DFT calculations. Then, in 2019, a highly sensitive bulk PdSe 2 photodetector was demonstrated at an FIR wavelength of 10.6 μm, and the mechanism was explained by the photogating effect, in which electron-hole pairs are generated through the bandgap and holes trapped at interface traps act as localized floating gates. [16] Therefore, PdSe 2 has attracted much attention as an optoelectronic material, [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] focusing on infrared detectors, as shown in Figure S1, Supporting Information. Since HgCdTe [25,26] and graphene are the only materials that have a bandgap in the FIR region thus far,
