Realizing energy-efficient devices with sustainable and independent operation is a large challenge for next-generation photodetection systems in various environments. In this study, we present high-response fast-speed ultraviolet photodetector (UV PD) based on the p-AlGaN/AlN/n-GaN nanowires (NWs) heterojunction, which could operate at 0 V bias underwater through photoelectrochemical (PEC) process.

Eutectic alloys were fabricated from the quaternary Al-Cu-Si-Ni system via arc melting and suction casting. An invariant ternary eutectic reaction (α-Al+Si+θ-Al2(CuNi)) was found in alloy with a composition of Al67.2Cu24Si8Ni0.8 (wt%). The dissolution Ni (∼1.7 at%) into tetragonal θ-Al2Cu takes place during this reaction. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that configurational entropy stabilises level randomly substituted Cu sites lattice at high temperatures. as-solidified...
