CaxZn(1-x)Al2O4 thin films (x = 0.00; 0.05; 0.10; 0.15 and 0.20) were prepared by sol-gel method with the substitution of Zn2+ by Ca2+ in the framework of ZnAl2O4. The effect of Ca addition on the structure and morphology of CaZnAl2O4 thin films was investigated by x-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emi...
