Abstract

The results of Plume Emission spectroscopy (PES) on Zno and MgO, to identify the atomic species responsible for the MgxZn1-xO epitaxial formation, are discussed. The structural qualities of the epilayers were improved by the use of nearly lattice-matched substrates having proper surface arrangements. The epilayers found to have atomically smooth surfaces along with the 0.26-nm-high monolayer steps in ZnO epilayers. The results show that the ZnO and Mg0.06Zn0.94O epilayers exhibits a predominant near-band-edge photoluminesence peak at room temperature.
