摘要
Alloyed BeZnO layers were grown by using hybrid plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy/electron-beam deposition. From the X-ray measurements, we certified that the x composition of the Be(x)Zn(1-x)O layers increases with increasing temperature of the Be effusion cell. With increasing x, the optical bandgap energy ranges from 3.236 to 4.122 eV, and a large bowing parameter of 6.32 eV is measured. Therefore, this finding may open up new possibilities for wide bandgap materials by conducting bandgap engineering using bandgap bowing. This indicates that the Be(x)Zn(1-x)O layer through bandgap timing can be utilized as a barrier layer in active layers consisting of the ZnO/Be(x)Zn(1-x)O quantum well structure.
