摘要
The electronic structure of Zn1-xMgxO alloy thin films was determined by hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (HX-PES) and optical transmittance measurements. HX-PES measurements revealed that the binding energies of valence band, Zn 2p, and O 1s levels increased with increasing MgO fraction. The energy shift correlated with a widening of the band gap and change in ionicity of chemical bonds by alloying. The Fermi level in the alloy compounds was found to be close to the bottom of conduction band regardless of the MgO fraction. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
