Abstract Effective detection is critical for terahertz applications, yet it remains hindered by the unclear mechanisms that necessitate a deeper understanding of photosensitive materials with exotic physical phenomena. Here, we investigate the terahertz detection capabilities of the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic semimetal NbFeTe2. Our study reveals that the interaction between antiferromagnetic magnetic moments and electron spin induces disordered carriers to hop between localized states, resulting in a nonlinear increase in responsivity as temperature decreases. We integrate asymmetric electrodes to generate a sufficient Seebeck potential, enabling carriers to overcome the barrier of localized states and achieve reordering at room temperature. Additionally, the self-powered performance of the NbFeTeâ‚‚/graphene heterojunction is optimized by the built-in electric field, achieving peak responsivity of 220 V W-1 and noise equivalent power of |
