Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is a phase transition material that undergoes a reversible insulator-metal phase transition at ~ 68 C. Atmospheric pressure thermal oxidation (APTO) of vanadium (V) is a simple VO2 synthesis method in which V thin…

Vanadium oxide films and fibers have been fabricated by the acetylacetonate sol-gel method followed by annealing in wet nitrogen. The samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction and electrical conductivity measurements. The effects of a…

We present a combined density-functional theory and single-site dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) study of vanadium dioxide (VO$_2$) using an unconventional set of bond-centered orbitals as the basis of the correlated subspace. VO$_2$ is a…

We consider a minimal model to investigate the metal-insulator transition in VO$_2$. We adopt a Hubbard model with two orbital per unit cell, which captures the competition between Mott and singlet-dimer localization. We solve the model…

We numerically investigate the transfer of optical information from a vector-vortex control beam to an unstructured probe beam, as mediated by an atomic vapour. The right and left circular components of these beams drive the atomic…

Vanadium dioxide, an archetypal correlated-electron material, undergoes an insulator-metal transition near room temperature that exhibits electron-correlation-driven and structurally-driven physics. Using ultrafast optical spectroscopy and…

We study a near-field radiative thermal transistor analogous to an electronic one made of a VO 2 base placed between two silica semi-infinite plates playing the roles of the transistor collector and emitter. The fact that VO 2 exhibits an…

A strongly correlated Mott first-order metal-insulator transition (MIT) (or Jump) not accompanied by the structural phase transition (SPT) was clearly revealed in VO_2, (New J. Phys. 6 (1004) 52, Appl. Phys. Lett. 86 (2005) 242101, Physica…

The infrared conductivity of V2O3 is measured in the whole phase diagram. Quasiparticles appear above the Neel temperature TN and eventually disappear further enhancing the temperature, leading to a pseudogap in the optical spectrum above…

We investigate phonon lifetimes in VO2 single crystals. We do so in the metallic state above the metal-insulator transition (MIT), where strong structural fluctuations are known to take place. By combining inelastic X-ray scattering and…

Effect of 1-D photonic crystals on optical transmission of VO2 is studied by depositing thin films of VO2 nanoparticles on SiO2/TiO2 distributed Bragg reflectors (DBR) in the near infrared (IR) spectrum as per earlier theoretical…

In this letter we demonstrate the possibility to determine the temporal and spectral structure (spectrogram) of a complex light pulse exploiting the ultrafast switching character of a non-thermal photo-induced phase transition. As a proof,…

The high-pressure behavior of monoclinic VO$_2$ is revisited by a combination of Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction on a single crystal under hydrostatic conditions at room temperature. A soft mode is observed up to P$_c$ = 13.9(1)…

Vanadium oxides are strongly correlated materials which display metal-insulator transitions as well as various structural and magnetic properties that depend heavily on oxygen stoichiometry. Therefore, it is crucial to precisely control…

We report a combined experimental and theoretical study of the melting curve and the structural behavior of vanadium under extreme pressure and temperature. We performed powder x-ray diffraction experiments up to 120 GPa and 4000 K,…

We introduce a thermal antenna which can be actively switched by phase transition. The source makes use of periodically patterned vanadium dioxide, a metal-insulator phase transition material which supports a surface phonon-polariton (SPP)…

Results of first principles augmented spherical wave electronic structure calculations for niobium dioxide are presented. Both metallic rutile and insulating low-temperature NbO2, which crystallizes in a distorted rutile structure, are…

We present {\it ab initio} LDA+DMFT results for the many-particle density of states of $VO_{2}$ on the metallic side of the strongly first-order ($T$-driven) insulator-metal transition. In strong contrast to LDA predictions, there is {\it…

We utilize near-infrared pump and mid-infrared probe spectroscopy to investigate the ultrafast electronic response of pressurized VO$_2$. Distinct pump-probe signals and a pumping threshold behavior are observed even in the pressure-induced…

The nonstoichiometric NaxCoO2 system exhibits extraordinary physical properties that correlate with temperature and Na concentration in its layered lattice without evident long-range structure modification when conventional crystallographic…
