Deep ultraviolet detecting property of AlxZn1−xO alloy thin film as photocathode layer

► A novel material that has been used as photocathode layer for solar-blind detecting for the first time. ► Degeneration is the fundamental theory of this material and the shift of Fermi level leads to an expecting result. ► This material is easy to be prepared so that it could save cost and time if being used widely.
