Mg-doped (≤15at%) ZnO thin films were prepared on quartz glass substrates by sol-gel method using a spinning-techniques. The films were charactered by X-ray diffraction , UV Vis-NIR double beam spectrophotometer and a SHIMADZU fluorespectrometer. It was found that optimally crystallized when the Mg concentration is 9at% were obtained. A photoluminescence study at room temperature revealed a blue shift in the near band edge emission peak with increasing of Mg content , which is agreement with the observation from the optical transmittance measurement. The photoconductive UV detectors based on these films were investigated, and the result showed that highest response was obtained from the photodecters fabricated by films with 15at% Mg concentration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
