Epitaxial ZnO/Mg x Zn 1-x O multilayer thin films (x=0~0.15) were prepared on c-Al 2 O 3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition and their crystallinity and optical properties were investigated using X-ray diffraction, TEM, and UVVis spectroscopy. ZnO/Mg x Zn 1-x O multilayer thin films were grown by stacking alternate layers of ZnO and Mg x Zn 1−x O with laser fluence of 3 J/cm 2 , repetition rate of 5 Hz, substrate temperature of 600°C, and oxygen partial pressure of 5×10 -4
