The microstructure of the fl-Ga203 films were investigated in detail using X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that the film prepared at 500℃ exhibits the best crystallinity with a monoclinic structure (fl-Ga203). Structure analysis reveals a clear out-of-plane orientation offl-Ga203 (201) II A1203 (0001). The average transmittance of these films in the visible wavelength range exceeds 90%, and the optical band gap of the films varies from 4.68 eV to 4.94 eV which were measured by an ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV-vis-NIR) spectrophotometer. Therefore, it is hopeful that the fl-Ga203 film can be used in the UV optoelectronic devices.展开更多
