摘要
Thin MgO films with thicknesses ranging from 127 to 35 nm were prepared by pulsed laser deposition on Si substrates. The crystalline films were smooth (rms roughness 0.6-1.2 nm) with an average density of 3.5 g/cm(3). Cathodoluminescence study revealed emissions peaked at 7.65 eV and ascribed to the edge emission of large radius exciton states as well as luminescence due to the F and F(+) colour centres in the range of 2-4 eV. This luminescence is efficiently excited in the absorption band peaked at 6.2 eV and in the intrinsic absorption with the onset at 7.4 eV via energy transfer processes.
