Abstract

Pulsed laser deposited MgxZn1−xO films grown on sapphire substrates exhibited wurtzite hexagonal structure at lower Mg concentrations (x<0.20), whereas use of MgO substrates promotes cubic rocksalt structure. For x≥0.20, single-phase cubic ZnMgO thin films with 〈200〉 orientation were realized on MgO substrates. However, the films grown on sapphire substrates exhibited single-phase cubic structure with 〈111〉 orientation only when x≥0.4. We show that the optical bandgap of wurtzite ZnMgO films can be tuned from 3.27eV to 3.80eV. On the other hand cubic ZnMgO films exhibited larger bandgap values as high as 5.99eV.
