Oxide semiconductor alloys of x(LiGaO2)1∕2–(1−x)ZnO were synthesized by a standard solid state reaction. The wurtzite-type single phases were obtained in the wide composition range of x⩽0.38 because the β-LiGaO2 possesses a wurtzite-derived structure and approximately the same lattice constants with ZnO. The resulting…
