27 Since four electrons per atoms are needed to fill the valence band completely, this doping creates electron deficiency in this band. The missing electrons - called holes - behave as positively charged particle which are mobile, and carry current.

40 Conclusions WO 3 show a high non linear optical absorption probably due to the presence of WO6 clusters. Photochromic properties under UV, visible and infrared laser exposure witch may be related to WO 6 clusters. In the GeS glass system addition of Ga induced PE Microlens and 2D photonic crystal have been produced using PE Increasing WO 3 content increasing α Increasing power increasing α The photochromic effect is reversible by heat treatment No degradation of the glass is observed after ht
