ZnCdO thin films with different Cd contents have been deposited on quartz substrate by pulsed laser deposition. All the obtained films have a hexagonal wurtzite ZnO structure with a highly c-axis orientation without any Cd related phases from the XRD patterns. The band gap energy of ZnCdO films extending to 2.88 eV can be achieved by incorporating 9.6% Cd content. The bound excitons emission at 2.925 eV in the ZnCdO thin film can be found in the low temperature photoluminescence measurement. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
