Abstract:Pulsed laser deposition was used to grow magnesium zinc oxide thin films on amorphous fused silica substrates at several temperatures between room temperature and 750°C. In this study, the effect of growth temperature on the optical properties of textured Mg x Zn 1-x O thin films was examined. The optical properties of the films were measured using absorption and photoluminescence spectrometry. Absorption spectra revealed that the bandgap values of textured Mg x Zn 1-x O thin films were enhanced in films grown… Show more
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.
