Surface metal-insulator transition on a vanadium pentoxide (001) single crystal.
In situ band gap mapping of the V2O5(001) crystal surface revealed a reversible metal-to-insulator transition at 350-400 K, which occurs inhomogeneously across the surface and expands preferentially in the direction of the vanadyl (V=O) double rows. Supported by density functional theory and Monte Carlo simulations, the results are rationalized on the basis of the anisotropic growth of vanadyl-...

متن کاملPd-sensitized single vanadium oxide nanowires: highly responsive hydrogen sensing based on the metal-insulator transition.
Exceptionally sensitive hydrogen sensors were produced using Pd-nanoparticle-decorated, single vanadium dioxide nanowires. The high-sensitivity arises from the large downward shift in the insulator to metal transition temperature following the adsorption on and incorporation of atomic hydrogen, produced by dissociative chemisorption on Pd, in the VO(2), producing approximately 1000-fold current...
متن کاملStrain engineering and one-dimensional organization of metal-insulator domains in single-crystal vanadium dioxide beams.
Correlated electron materials can undergo a variety of phase transitions, including superconductivity, the metal-insulator transition and colossal magnetoresistance. Moreover, multiple physical phases or domains with dimensions of nanometres to micrometres can coexist in these materials at temperatures where a pure phase is expected. Making use of the properties of correlated electron materials...
متن کاملNew aspects of size-dependent metal-insulator transition in synthetic single-domain monoclinic vanadium dioxide nanocrystals.
Nanoscale materials with size smaller than the characteristic domain size could simplify the domain structure and uncover the intrinsic properties in detail. Herein, a ultrafast open space calcination pathway is first put forward to synthesize high-quality single-domain VO(2)(M) nanocrystals and an in situ variable-temperature IR spectroscopy is first proposed to identify the size-dependent MIT...
