Abstract. Thin films of LixMoyOz have been deposited on glass substrate in a one step chemical vapour deposition using a single source solid precursor. The films were characterized using Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS), X-Ray Diffractometry, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Impedance Spectroscopy (IS), van der Pauw conductivity measurement and Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy. Results of the characterization showed that the films are dendritic, polycrystalline and semiconducting with an optical transition energy of 3.0 eV. IS characterization gave a semicircle in the complex impedance plot. The conductivity vs. temperature plot showed a transition at 450 ~ and also a hysteresis. Analysis showed the film to be mixture of phases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
