Abstract

Mg0.15Zn0.85O thin films were grown on fused silica substrates at different substrate temperatures using pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were used to investigate the structure of the films. High resolution transmission electron microscopy showed that the film contained small grains with low angle boundaries. The optical properties of the films were investigated using absorption spectra. The bandgap energy values of the films was determined by fitting the absorption data.
