14. Figure 2 is in logarithmic scale, hence, the responsivity is in absolute values. The photoresponse in reverse bias is in the negative direction.

20. The numerical discrepancy between the barrier height reduction derived here and the values estimated to lit Eq. (7) to the measurements are probably related to uncertainty in the values of the Richardson constant A*.
