Unraveling the Structure and Properties of Layered and Mixed ReO₃-WO₃ Thin Films Deposited by Reactive DC Magnetron Sputtering.

ABSTRACT: Tungsten trioxide (WO₃) is a well-known electrochromic material with a wide band gap, while rhenium trioxide (ReO₃) is a "covalent metal" with an electrical conductivity comparable to that of pure metals. Since both WO₃ and ReO₃ oxides have perovskite-type structures, the formation of their solid solutions (ReO₃-WO₃ or Re _x W_1-x O₃) can be expected, which may be of significant academic and industrial interest. In this study, layered WO₃/ReO₃, ReO₃/WO₃, and mixed ReO₃-WO₃ thin films were produced by reactive DC magnetron sputtering and subsequent annealing in air at 450 °C.
