description

Magnetron sputtered amorphous thin films a-WO3, a-MoO3 and doped a-WO3:Ir have been studied by X-ray absorption spectroscopy on the oxygen K-edge in comparison with crystalline oxides as monoclinic m-WO3, orthorhombic α-MoO3, cubic Na0.6WO3, layered-type hexagonal h-WO3 and WO3·H2O, having variable electronic and atomic structure. The changes in the XANES ranging 10–15 eV above the absorption edge are interpreted based on the known band-structure calculations. The high-energy features are related to the multiple-scattering processes (EXAFS) at the nearest atoms.
