Abstract

In order to clarify the heat annealing process for Magnesium Oxide (MgO), cathodoluminescent (CL) analysis was performed. Our results in the present work prove that the heat annealing has effects on not only removing water from the surface of MgO, but also increasing density of O and Mg defect pairs. It is the first work that the influence of annealing process on physical properties of the vacuum evaporated MgO thin films by using CL spectra.
