ZnO

Why ZnCdMgO?

ZnO

 Easy to grow with with different plane orientations  High exciton binding energy 60 meV; Excitonic effects at RT  ZnO high quality substrates already available for homoepitaxy  A variety of nanostructures/shapes easily grown  Reactive surfaces and prone to get –OH groups  Reactive surfaces and prone to get –OH groups

ZnCdO → ZnO → Zn1‐xMgxO

 Potentially , bandgap control from (VIS)  2.2 eV to (UV)  8 eV  As an example, from present work, ZnMgO keep WZ structure up

to Mg 50% (4.4 eV) g ( )

DIFFICULTIES

‐to reach high Mg/Cd m fractions while keeping WZ S (NPS)
