, 78.66.Nk, 81.15.Fg This work describes the lithium incorporation process in thin films of MoO 3 prepared by evaporation with a laser of CO 2, working in continuous wave mode. Targets prepared from mixtures of MoO 3 (99.97%) and Li 2 CO 3 (99.98%) in powder were used in the growth of the films. The targets had Li concentrations of 1%, 2% and 5% (lithium ions/total cations). The samples were characterized through X-rays diffraction, (XRD) and transmittance in the visible spectrum. The XRD spectra show an evolution in the growth of the films, beginning by an amorphous phase for samples with temperatures lower than 200 o C. From this temperature on a mixture of the α and β phases of LiMoO 3 and Li 2 MoO 4 appears, which grow along planes (100), (111) for LiMoO 3 and (012) for Li 2 MoO 4 . The transmittance spectra showed a shift of the material's energy gap towards long wavelengths as the lithium concentration increases in the sample.
