Abstract

We present a study on five MgxZn1-xO samples with varied x (x = 0, 0.01, 0.06, 0.10 and 0.14), grown on sapphire substrate by Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD). Combined photoluminescence (PL) and Raman scattering studies were carried out over a temperature range of 80K-470K, under the excitation of UV 325 nm. Temperature dependence of the PL for MgZnO with x = 0, 0.01 and 0.06 are shown. The resonance Raman longitudinal optical (LO) multiple modes are exhibited for MgZnO with x = 0.06, 0.10 and 0.14 over all temperature range. Raman shifts exhibit a quadratic dependence on temperature in the measured temperature range. These dependences can be calculated, based upon a model involving three-and four-phonon coupling. We attribute both the thermal expansion and four-phonon terms in the four-phonon anharmonic processes to describe the change of Raman shift with temperature.
