Characterization of Tungsten Trioxide Thin Film Deposited by Spin Coating and the Effect on Their Insertion in Liquid Crystal Cells
Marco Castriota,S. Marino,Consolato Carlo Versace,Giuseppe Strangi,Nicola Scaramuzza,Enzo Cazzanelli +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a structural study of oxide films deposited on indium tin oxide (ITO) covered glasses has been performed to have further confirmations of the model and a better understanding of the basic mechanism underlying the rectification effect and connections with the structural and electrical properties of the films, WO3 layers have been studied before and after thermal.
