On the Cyclability of the Thermochromism in CuMoO₄ and Its Tungsten Derivatives CuMo_1–<i>x</i>W<i>_x</i>O₄ (<i>x</i> &lt; 0.12)

Abstract

The cyclability of thermochromism in CuMoO4 and its solid solution CuMo1–xWxO4 (x < 0.12) was investigated by optical absorbance, differential scanning calorimetry, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The high temperature form is found to progressively lose its ability to become the low temperature form with increasing the number of cooling/warming cycles.
