II–VI oxides ternary alloys have attracted considerable interest of the scientific community due to possibility modulating their interesting optoelectronic properties. Despite this interest, MgCdO has been poorly studied. In work, by using metal organic chemical vapor deposition method at low pressure, we analyzed synthesis thin films alloy. Thus, for a fixed metal–organic precursors content, change from Mg1–xCdxO (Mg-rich phase) Cd1–xMgxO (Cd-rich induced when decreasing growth temperature. The temperature range where both phases coexist particularly analyzed. Using X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy, structural morphological study samples carried out. addition, composition alloy measured energy dispersive analysis, behavior lattice parameter as function Cd content
