Abstract
It is shown that the electrical and optical properties of thin amorphous MoO3 films significantly change upon sodium ion irradiation at about 10 kV and that an insulator-metal transition occurs at fluences near 1016 cm-2. These results may be caused either by an electrical activation of the implants or by some compositional change as a result of a sputtering effect.Keywords
