Structural and optical properties of ZnO doped Mg thin films deposited by pulse laser deposition (PLD)‎

الملخص EN

This paper reports the effect of Mg doping on structural and optical properties of ZnO prepared by pulse laser deposition (PLD).

The films deposited on glass substrate using Nd : YAG laser (1064 nm) as the light source.

The structure and optical properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmittance measurements.

The films grown have a polycrystalline wurtzite structure and high transmission in the UV-Vis (300-900) nm.

The optical energy gap of ZnO : Mg thin films could be controlled between (3.2eV and 3.9eV).

The refractive index of ZnO : Mg thin films decreases with Mg doping.

The extinction coefficient and the complex dielectric constant were also investigate.
