Solid solutions between zinc oxide and magnesium oxide containing up to 4 at. % Mg were grown from the melt using a modified Bridgman technique. Chemical analysis (ICP-OES) and photoluminescence (PL) measurements revealed that the Mg concentration in the melt is larger compared with the starting material. This observation contradicts the commonly accepted assumption, that the ZnO¨CMgO phase diagram is of eutectic type. Peritectic melting of Zn-rich Zn1?i>xMgxO can explain the new experimental results, and a new ZnO¨CMgO phase diagram is proposed. Furthermore a distribution coefficient for Mg of has been determined.
