Calibration and control of in-plane Mg doping distribution in Mg_xZn_(1−x)O/ZnO heterostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy

Abstract

The in-plane Mg doping distribution in molecular beam epitaxy grown Mg_xZn_(1−x)O/ZnO heterostructures is mapped by low-temperature photoluminescence measurements in an effort to evaluate and control the resultant inhomogeneity formed during the growth process. In an unrotated sample, the independent configuration effects of the O₃ and Mg source cells are clearly demonstrated in a composition spread due to flux gradients, while this inhomogeneity is suppressed by sample rotation during the growth. The present mapping results provide an important means for investigating improved doping regimes with the aim of enhancing the quality of quantum transport observable at the Mg_xZn_(1−x)O/ZnO heterointerface.
