일렉트로크로믹 MoO$_3$ 박막의 제조 및 특성

Preparation and Characterization of Electromic MoO$_3$Thin Films

We have investigated the optical and electrochromic properties of molybdenum oxide(MoO$_3$) films by thermal evaporation. The MoO$_3$films deposited at substrate temperatures below 200$^{\circ}C$ are found to be amorphous and annealed films at temperature 300$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour in air are crystalline. The optical energy gap calculated from the transmittance and reflectance spectra of MoO$_3$ films is near 2.75 eV and 3.25 eV for amorphous films and crystalline films, respectively. The MoO$_3$ thin films exhibit light blue to dark blue optical modulation on lithium intercalation and have a uniform transmittance modulation over a wavelength range of 300∼1100 nmcompared to tungsten oxide films.
