These deposited films were characterized by XRD, IR, UV VIS spectra. The
structure of (V2O5)1-x-(MoO3)x films is found to be amorphous
for x= 0.5. The IR spectra confirm the formation of (V2O5)1-x-(MoO3)x mixed
oxide films for 0x<1. The
energy gaps of the mixed oxide films are in between 2.1 to 2.56 eV. The width
of localized states is 0.92 eV (for x=0).
The electrical conductivity of the V2O5 films is 2ÂŽ10<span style="font-family:Symbol;mso-ascii-font-family:
