Mott transition in VO2 revealed by infrared spectroscopy and nano-imaging.
Electrons in correlated insulators are prevented from conducting by Coulomb repulsion between them. When an insulator-to-metal transition is induced in a correlated insulator by doping or heating, the resulting conducting state can be radically different from that characterized by free electrons in conventional metals. We report on the electronic properties of a prototypical correlated insulato...
متن کاملMetastability Phenomena in VO2 Thin Films
VO2 is a transition metal oxide in which complex electronic phases appear near the metal-to-insulator transition due to electron correlation and electron–lattice interactions. This system is characterized by a metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) at around 341 K. The metal (high T) phase is tetragonal while the insulator (low T) phase is monoclinic and the resistivity changes at the MIT by about...
متن کاملElectrodynamics of the vanadium oxides VO2 and V2O3
The optical and infrared properties of films of vanadium dioxide VO2 and vanadium sesquioxide V2O3 have been investigated via ellipsometry and near-normal incidence reflectance measurements from far infrared to ultraviolet frequencies. Significant changes occur in the optical conductivity of both VO2 and V2O3 across the metal-insulator transitions at least up to and possibly beyond 6 eV. We arg...
متن کاملPositive-bias gate-controlled metal–insulator transition in ultrathin VO2 channels with TiO2 gate dielectrics
The next generation of electronics is likely to incorporate various functional materials, including those exhibiting ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism and metal-insulator transitions. Metal-insulator transitions can be controlled by electron doping, and so incorporating such a material in transistor channels will enable us to significantly modulate transistor current. However, such gate-controll...
متن کاملWafer-scale growth of VO2 thin films using a combinatorial approach
Transition metal oxides offer functional properties beyond conventional semiconductors. Bridging the gap between the fundamental research frontier in oxide electronics and their realization in commercial devices demands a wafer-scale growth approach for high-quality transition metal oxide thin films. Such a method requires excellent control over the transition metal valence state to avoid perfo...
