Ternary MgZnO is an excellent material system for the fabrication of quantum well heterostructures and thus for potential application in exciton-related photonic devices.

We have investigated the impact of strain on the incorporation and the properties of extended and point defects in (Mg,Zn)O thin films by means of photoluminescence, X-ray diffraction, deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) and deep-level optical spectroscopy. The recombination line Y2, previously detected in ZnO thin films grown on an Al-doped ZnO buffer layer and attributed to tensile strain [1], was exclusively found in (Mg,Zn)O samples being under tensile strain and is absent in relaxed or compressively strained thin films. Furthermore a structural defect E3’ can be detected via DLTS measurements and is only incorporated in tensile strained samples. Finally it is shown that the omnipresent deep-level E3 in ZnO can only be optically recharged in relaxed ZnO samples [2].
