摘要: Abstract We report the growth and characterization of single-crystalline, epitaxial Zn 0.9 Mg 0.1 O films on c-plane sapphire substrates with MgO buffer layer by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The quality epilayers is evidenced a Hall mobility more than 60 cm 2  V −1  s at room temperature an X-ray diffraction (XRD) rocking curve full-width half-maximum 47 arcsec for (0 0 0 2) reflection. A screw dislocation density 4 × 10 6  cm −2 estimated XRD. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that thickness about 3.5 nm, highly c -axis oriented reflection corresponding to wurtzite-phase observed. Alloying found widen bandgap energy ZnO, luminescence observed 3.502 eV low temperature.
