Abstract
Single crystals of the layered structure wide band semiconductor MoO3 were grown and Al was intercalated electrochemically. Intercalation was monitored by X-ray microprobe analysis. Optical transmission measurements in the fundamental energy gap region indicate a shift of the absorption edge which is attributed to the intercalated Al species. In the vibrational spectra in the FIR region, no new peaks are observed although the relative intensity and bandwidth are modified, indicating that the chemical nature of the pristine material is not altered upon intercalation.
