“…A longer irradiation time will result in a larger photochromic response [22]. This photochromic phenomenon is observed most prominently in thin films of tungsten oxide [8,, which can be prepared by thermal evaporation [8, 26-28, 44, 45, 47, 48, 68, 71], reactive evaporation [44,72] rf sputtering [22,29,37,44,71], dc sputtering [54], electron beam deposition [34,60], sol-gel-related techniques [24,38,55,73,74], spray pyrolysis [47], electrodeposition [63,64], laser-related deposition technique [51,52,58] and so on. Different techniques for the film preparation often lead to thin films with somewhat different properties.…”
