Abstract: | Amorphous films of WO3 have been prepared by sublimation in a partiaal pressure of oxygen, and then coloured by either heat-treatment or U.V. radiation. Thermo-chromic films are extremely stable with respect to oxygen and have been compared with oxygen deficient crystals of WO3. Photo-chromic films are extremely unstable in an oxygen environment similar to hydrogen tungsten bronzes. The variation of the thermoelectric power with colouration suggests that the density-of-states in the neighbourhood of the Fermi energy differs in films coloured by the two methods. |
