Zirconia modified with $MoO_3$ was prepared by impregnation of powdered $Zr(OH)_4$ with ammonium heptamolybdate aqueous solution followed by calcining in air at high temperature. Spectroscopic studies on prepared catalysts were performed by using FTIR, Raman, XRD, and DSC and by measuring surface area. Upon the addition of molybdenum oxide to zirconia up to 15 wt%, the specific surface area increased in proportion to the molybdate oxide content, while acidity measured by irreversible chemisorption of ammonia exhibited a maximum value at 3 wt% of $MoO_3$. Since the $ZrO_2$ stabilizes the molybdenum oxide species, for the samples equal to or less than 30 wt%, molybdenum oxide was well dispersed on the surface of zirconia and no phase of crystalline $MoO_3$ was observed at any calcination temperature above $400^{\circ}C$. The catalytic activities for cumene dealkylation were roughly correlated with the acidity of catalysts measured by ammonia chemisorption method, while the catalytic activities for 2-propanol dehydration were not correlated with the acidity because weak acid sites are necessary for the reaction.

Factors influencing friction reduction with MODTP(molybdenum dialkyl dithiophosphate) lubricant were investigated through a frictioning experiment using two-cylinder edge surface frictioning tester and XPS surface analysis. The friction reduction effect gained with MoDTP lubricant appeared to be largely attributable to MoS$_2$ formation on the frictioning interface. Under N$_2$ atmosphere, Mo diffused into the metal substrate, easily escaping from MoS$_2$ so the friction reduction effect from MoDTP was not gained. However, when an oxide surface film was preliminary prepared on frictioning surface, this Mo diffusion to metal substrate from MoS$_2$ was effectively inhibited. Then desired lubulication effect of MoDTP was gained even under N$_2$atmosphere. As such, the existence of a surface oxide film on the frictioning surface was concluded to be of essential importance in order to gain a lubrcating effect with MoDTP.

We report a simple electrochemical approach in fabricating multiple colored molybdenum (Mo) oxide bronzes on the surface of a Mo-quartz electrode. A three step electrochemical batch process consisting of linear sweep voltammetry and anodic oxidation followed by cathodic reduction in neutral $K_2SO_4$ electrolyte at different end potentials, viz. -0.62, -0.80 and -1.60 V (vs. $Hg/HgSO_4$) yielded red, blue and yellow colored bronzes. The samples produced were analyzed by XRD, EDS, and SIMS. The color variation was suggested to be associated with the cations intercalation into the oxide formed and the simultaneous structural changes that occurred during the cathodic reduction in neutral aqueous medium.

Mo2N/Mo double layer which is to be used for gate of the RMOS (refractory metal oxide semiconductor) and interconnection material has been formed by means of low temperature r.f. reactive sputtering in Ar and N2 mixture. The sheet .esistance of 1 000$\AA$Mo2 N/4000$\AA$Mofilm was about 1.20-1.28 ohms/square, which is about an order of magnitude lower than that of polysilicon film. The workfunction difference naE between MO2N/MO layer and (100) p-Si with 6-9 ohm'cm resistivity obtained from C-V plots was about -0.30ev, and the fixed charge density Qss/q in the oxide was about 2. Ix1011/cm2. To evaluate the signal transfer delay time per inverter stage, an integrated ring oscillator circuit consisting of 45-stage inverters was fabricated using the polysilicon gate NMOS process. The signal transfer delay time per inverter stage obtained in this experiment was about 0.8 nsec

Transparent n-type metal-oxide semiconductor of $MoO_x$ was applied on a p-type Si substrate for high-performing heterojunction photodetector. The formation of $MoO_x$ on Si spontaneously established a rectifying current flow with a high rectification ratio of 1,252.3%. Under light illumination condition, n-type $MoO_x$/p-type Si heterojunction device provided significantly fast responses (rise time : 61.28 ms, fall time : 66.26 ms). This transparent metal-oxide layer ($MoO_x$) would provide a functional route for various photoelectric devices, including photodetectors and solar cells.

In this study, lanthanum oxide ($La_2O_3$) dispersed molybdenum ($Mo-La_2O_3$) alloys are fabricated using lanthanum nitrate solution and nanosized Mo particles produced by hydrogen reduction of molybdenum oxide. The effect of $La_2O_3$ dispersion in a Mo matrix on the fracture toughness at room temperature is demonstrated through the formation behavior of $La_2O_3$ from the precursor and three-point bending test using a single-edge notched bend specimen. The relative density of the $Mo-0.3La_2O_3$ specimen sintered by pressureless sintering is approximately 99%, and $La_2O_3$ with a size of hundreds of nanometers is uniformly distributed in the Mo matrix. It is also confirmed that the fracture toughness is $19.46MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$, an improvement of approximately 40% over the fracture toughness of $13.50MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ on a pure-Mo specimen without $La_2O_3$, and this difference in the fracture toughness occurs because of the changes in fracture mode of the Mo matrix caused by the dispersion of $La_2O_3$.

Molybdenum oxide thin films were deposited on p-type Si(100) by an RF magnetron sputtering method. The physical and chemical properties of these films were studied with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The thickness of molybdenum oxide thin films was measured by spectroscopic ellipsometer (SE) and the thickness was about 200 nm. As the oxygen gas pressure increased, the thickness was decreased, the phases of the thin films were changed, and the amount of metallic Mo decreased but the contents of $Mo^{6+}$ species increases.

We have investigated the optical and electrochromic properties of molybdenum oxide(MoO$_3$) films by thermal evaporation. The MoO$_3$films deposited at substrate temperatures below 200$^{\circ}C$ are found to be amorphous and annealed films at temperature 300$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour in air are crystalline. The optical energy gap calculated from the transmittance and reflectance spectra of MoO$_3$ films is near 2.75 eV and 3.25 eV for amorphous films and crystalline films, respectively. The MoO$_3$ thin films exhibit light blue to dark blue optical modulation on lithium intercalation and have a uniform transmittance modulation over a wavelength range of 300∼1100 nmcompared to tungsten oxide films.

The Near-Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS) technique and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were utilized to investigate the reaction of CH4 and O2 on the MoO3/SiO2 catalyst. The NEXAFS results showed that the stoichiometry of the molybdenum oxide catalyst supported on silica was MoO3. MoO3 was reduced to MoO2 when the catalyst was exposed to CH4 at 773 K. NEXAFS results confirm that lattice oxygen is directly related to the process of CH4 oxidation which takes place on the surface of MoO3/SiO2 catalysts. DSC results show that the structure of MoO3 changes around 573 K and this structural change seems to improve the migration of oxygen in the lattice.
