Abstract

The paper presents the recent study on the technology and investigation of thin metal oxide films based on transition metals, such as W and Mo. Defined is the application aspect of the research, by describing the optical systems based on these films, namely the electrochromic device and the X-ray mirror. Results on the optical absorption in the films are presented, and discussed by the specific structure of these materials. Electrochromic measurements of the MoO3, as well as of mixed oxide films based on W and Mo are more in details presented. A device based on mixed oxide films as working electrode is developed and its electrochromic functioning evidenced by the voltammograms, coloration efficiency and optical modulation is described..

Keywords
