X-ray emission spectra in compound thin films are scarce, although such studies in metals, alloys and other inorganic compounds are available. In this study, compound thin films of V 2 O 5 -MoO 3 and powders of same compositions were investigated to see the effect of V 2 O 5 incorporation in an MoO 3 matrix. For this purpose, Kb, La and Lb emissions from Mo present in these matrices were measured. The full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of La 2 and Lb 1 in thin films were found to be different from that of powders. Most of these emission bands show a low asymmetry index before these are split into separate bands. All these findings have been explained on the basis of vacancy production, core hole lifetime, crystal structure and stoichiometric variation of MoO 3 in the V 2 O 5 matrix.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
