We report modulation of a reversible phase transition in VO2 films by hydrogen doping. A metallic phase and a new insulating phase are successively observed at room temperature as the doping concentration increases. It is suggested that the…

Vanadium oxide (VOx) is a material of significant interest due to its metal-insulator transition (MIT) properties as well as its diverse stable antiferromagnetism depending on the valence states of V and O with distinct MIT transitions and…

Nanophotonic (nanoplasmonic) structures confine, guide, and concentrate light on the nanoscale. Advancement of nanophotonics critically depends on active nanoscale control of these phenomena. Localized control of the insulator and metallic…

Textured VO2(011) microcrystals are grown in the monoclinic, M1 phase which undergo a reversible first order semiconductor to metal transition (SMT) accompanied by a structural phase transition to rutile tetragonal, R phase. Around the…

Vanadium dioxide (VO2) undergoes a phase transition at a temperature of 340 K between an insulating monoclinic M1 phase and a conducting rutile phase. Accurate measurements of possible anisotropy of the electronic properties and phonon…

Insulator-to-metal (MI) phase transition in vanadium dioxide (VO2) thin films with controlled lattice distortion was investigated by thermopower measurements. VO2 epitaxial films with different crystallographic orientations, grown on (0001)…

A vanadium dioxide VO2 film shows metal-insulator transition (MIT) induced by changing environmental temperature. We report the temperature dependence of electromotive force properties generated in VO2/Ni80Fe20 bilayer junctions under the…

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…

In this work, the results of fabricating ultra thin VO$_2$ films on the technologically relevant amorphous SiO$_2$ surface using reactive DC magnetron sputtering are presented. Results indicate that a post deposition anneal in low partial…

Experimental insight in the nanoscale dynamics underlying switching in novel memristive devices is limited owing to the scarcity of techniques that can probe the electronic structure of these devices. Scattering scanning near-field optical…

The metal insulator transition (MIT) in VO2 has been an important topic for recent years. It has been generally agreed that the mechanism of the MIT in bulk VO2 is considered to be a collaborative Mott-Peierls transition, however the effect…

A limiting optical diode is an asymmetric nonlinear device that is bidirectionally transparent at low power, but becomes opaque when illuminated by sufficiently intense light incident from a particular direction. We explore the use of a…

Electronic and structural degrees of freedom are often intimately coupled in strongly correlated systems, which result in intriguing macroscopic and microscopic phenomena. Using the well-studied material VO$_2$ as a prototype, here we…

Optical tweezers revolutionized the manipulation of nanoscale objects. Typically, tunable manipulations of optical tweezers rely on adjusting either the trapping laser beams or the optical environment surrounding the nanoparticles. We…

We numerically demonstrate a reconfigurable extraordinary terahertz transmission based on a phase-change material of vanadium dioxide (VO2). The proposed hybrid metasurface is composed of an array of subwavelength apertures perforated on a…

Through ${in~situ}$ photoemission spectroscopy, we investigated the change in the electronic and crystal structures of dimensionality-controlled VO$_2$ films coherently grown on TiO$_2$(001) substrates. In the nanostructured films, the…

We present a theoretical investigation of the electronic structure of rutile (metallic) and M$_1$ and M$_2$ monoclinic (insulating) phases of VO$_2$ employing a fully self-consistent combination of density functional theory and embedded…

We investigate the differences in the dynamics of the ultrafast photo-induced metal-insulator transition (MIT) of two VO$_2$ thin films deposited on different substrates, TiO$_2$ and Al$_2$O$_3$, and in particular the temperature dependence…

Vanadium dioxide ($VO_{2}$) exhibits strong infrared optical switching due to its insulator-metal phase-transition property. However, in the visible wavelengths, it's intrinsic optical switching is quite low. Current research explores…
