Article Synopsis
- Rare-earth oxyhydride thin films exhibit a reversible photochromic effect, changing color under ambient conditions when prepared through air-oxidation of REH dihydrides.
- The extent and speed of the optical change can be controlled by adjusting the O/H anion ratio and selecting different rare-earth cations.
- Larger ionic radius rare-earth elements result in oxyhydrides with enhanced optical contrast and quicker bleaching times, indicating a correlation between the photochromic mechanism and anion behavior.
