The band gap and defect states of MgO thin films were investigated by using reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS) high-energy resolution REELS (HR-REELS). HR-REELS with a primary 0.3 keV revealed that the surface F center (FS) was located at approximately 4.2 eV above valence maximum (VBM) width (EgS) 6.3 eV. bulk (FB) 4.9 VBM about 7.8 eV, when measured 3 electrons. From first-principles calculation, we confirmed peaks FS FB, induced oxygen vacancies. We also experimentally...
