Abstract

$Zn_{1-x}Cd_xO$ thin films were grown on (0001) sapphire substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The energy bandgap of $Zn_{1-x}Cd_xO$ films decreases withincreasing Cd content. An increase of Cd content also leads to the emission broadening and degraded crystallinity. The absorption edge and ultraviolet emission peak shift to lower energy from 3.357 eV to 3.295 eV and 3.338 eV to 3.157 eV, respectively, with increasing Cd content from 0.3% to 3%. The Stokes' shift between the absorption and emission indicates the increase of localization of exciton with Cd content.
