Abstract
The present paper reports the XPS study of different amorphous oxysulfides thin films MOySz (M = W, Ti, Mo), prepared by radio frequency magnetron spu ttering. It has been shown the coexistence of various environments and form al oxidation numbers for metal atoms. In addition, the observation of sever al types of sulfur ions has revealed the specific character of such amorpho us layers. In order to precise the common features and the differences as a function of the nature of the metal atom, a comparison of the data for the three kinds of thin films has been done.
