Divergent phase evolution in mixed oxide W 0.5 Mo 0.5 O 3 under electron beam irradiation and thermal annealing
Abstract
framework that maintains 1 : 1 W : Mo atomic ratio. Remarkably, this phase remains crystalline and unexpectedly stable at 1200 °C, far above the reported melting range of molybdenum oxides. These findings provide a quantitative framework for understanding radiation limits in 2D-layered oxides and offer a strategic route for synthesizing thermally robust metastable phases for electrochromic and energy-storage applications.
