Electrochemical gating-induced reversible and drastic resistance switching in VO2 nanowires
Reversible and drastic modulation of the transport properties in vanadium dioxide (VO2) nanowires by electric field-induced hydrogenation at room temperature was demonstrated using the nanogaps separated by humid air in field-effect transistors with planer-type gates (PG-FET). These PG-FETs allowed us to investigate behavior of revealed hydrogen intercalation and diffusion aspects with time and...
متن کاملElectrical oscillations induced by the metal-insulator transition in VO2
We systematically investigate the characteristics of an electrical oscillation observed in two-terminal vanadium dioxide VO2 devices. These oscillations are observed at room temperature in a simple electrical circuit without inductive components. The circuit is composed only of a dc voltage source, the VO2 device, and a standard resistor connected in series with the device. We explain why the o...
متن کاملAxially engineered metal-insulator phase transition by graded doping VO2 nanowires.
The abrupt first-order metal-insulator phase transition in single-crystal vanadium dioxide nanowires (NWs) is engineered to be a gradual transition by axially grading the doping level of tungsten. We also demonstrate the potential of these NWs for thermal sensing and actuation applications. At room temperature, the graded-doped NWs show metal phase on the tips and insulator phase near the cente...
متن کاملNonlinear Peltier Effect in Quantum Point Contacts
A theoretical analysis of the Peltier effect in two-dimensional quantum point contacts, in field-free conditions and under the influence of applied magnetic fields, is presented. It is shown that in the nonlinear regime (finite applied voltage) new peaks in the Peltier coefficient appear leading to violation of Onsager’s relation. Oscillations of the Peltier coefficient in a magnetic field are ...
متن کاملOrbital-assisted metal-insulator transition in VO2.
We found direct experimental evidence for an orbital switching in the V 3d states across the metal-insulator transition in VO2. We have used soft-x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the V L2,3 edges as a sensitive local probe and have determined quantitatively the orbital polarizations. These results strongly suggest that, in going from the metallic to the insulating state, the orbital occupation ...
