摘要
The optical properties and surface morphology of sol-gel spin coated WO3 and WO3-SiO2 composite films annealed at 250 and 400 degrees C are investigated. For the purpose of extracting the optical parameters of the films, a novel form for the dielectric function is introduced, consisting of two Tauc-Lorentz oscillators and an Urbach tail component, which is suited for amorphous multi-transition materials with substantial subgap absorption. The evolution of the refractive indices, transmittances, and band gaps with doping is marked by sizable shifts at 2.0-2.5% SiO2 doping for the 250 degrees C films, and 4.0-4.5% doping for the 400 degrees C films. In addition, pronounced changes in the surface roughness of the films occur at these doping values. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
