Abstract

This work is concerned with making a comparison of the effect of changing x content and gamma (γ) irradiation (5KGy) by two metal oxide named molybdenum oxide and tungsten oxide (MoO3)1-x-(WO3)x. Various compounds were synthesized from (MoO3)1-x-(WO3)x with different x content (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1). The materials were mixed and put in an evacuated quartz ampule then the ampule was sealed and heated for five hours at a temperature of 1173K. Thin films of (MoO3)1-x-(WO3)x compound have been prepared under vacuum by Pulse laser deposition technique with thickness of  about 600 nm on glass and silicon wafer with (111) orientation (p-type). This study explained the most properties of (MoO3)1-x-(WO3)x thin films with different x content before and after gamma (γ) irradiation which imply structural, optical, electrical and finally synthesis heterojunction. To investigate these properties, many techniques where employed such as x-ray diffraction, fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), atomic force microscope (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-spectroscopy, hall effect , D.C measurement and I-V Characteristics.
