Abstract

Magnesium doped ZnO films were electrochemically grown on the NESA conductive glass substrate from the magnesium nitrate aqueous solution with zinc sulfate, kept at 323K and the cathodic potential of -0.9V vs. Ag/AgCl. The Mg/(Mg+Zn) atomic ratio of Zn1-xMgxO films increased with the decrease in the zinc sulfate concentration. The optical band gap energy of these Zn1-xMgxO films decreased with increasing content of zinc sulfate. Thus, the optical band gap energy and Mg/(Mg+Zn) atomic ratio of Zn1-xMgxO films would depend on the zinc sulfate concentration.
