Abstract
The effects of monoethanolamine (MEA) and acetylacetone (ACAC) addition as stabilizer on the crystallization behaviour, morphology and optical properties of magnesium oxide were investigated using thermogravimetry (TG/DTG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-Visible, photoluminescence (PL) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Stabilizer addition reduces transparency of the films. MgO films prepared at 500 °C showed weak orientation of (200). However, the films prepared by addition of stabilizer are amorphous. MgO powders were prepared for exhibiting the structural properties. The patterns of MgO powders showed a preferred orientation of (200). The addition of stabilizer causes a reduction in grain size. SEM micrographs show that a homogenous and crack-free film can be prepared at 500 °C and addition of stabilizer causes an increase in packing density.
