Abstract—Epitaxial (111) MgO films on sapphire with (0001) orientation were grown by high-frequency magnetron reactive sputtering. The X-ray structural analysis of the films obtained in combination with layer-by-layer plasma etching showed the presence of a thin transition layer with lattice parameters corresponding to the cubic structure of MgO with signs of rhombohedral strain.
