Tungsten(III) oxide
Tungsten oxide is a compound of tungsten and oxygen. It has been reported as being grown as a thin film by atomic layer deposition at temperatures between 140 and 240 °C using W26 as a precursor. It is not referred to in major textbooks.
Some older literature refers to the compound W2O3 but as the atomic weight of tungsten was believed at the time to be 92, i.e., approximately half the modern accepted value of 183.84, the compound actually being referred to was WO3.Usage
Tungsten oxide is used in various types of infrared absorbing coatings and foils.
