ZnGa2O4 spinel is a promising new UV transparent electronic conductor. Enhancing the
electrical conductivity of this potential oxide phosphor can make it a promising transparent
conducting oxide. In this paper, we have investigated the effects of processing and doping
on the conductivity of semiconducting ZnGa2O4, particularly thin films. Crystalline zinc
gallate thin films have been deposited on fused quartz substrates employing the pulsed
laser deposition (PLD) technique at room temperature for an oxygen partial pressure of 0.1 …
