Metal-insulator transition underlies many remarkable and technologically important phenomena in VO2. Even though its monoclinic structure had before been the reserve of the insulating state, recent experiments have observed an unexpected…
We use apertureless scattering near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) to investigate the nanoscale optical response of vanadium dioxide (VO2) thin films through a temperature-induced insulator-to-metal transition (IMT). We compare images of…
The temperature-induced structural and electronic transformation in VO$_2$ between the monoclinic M1 and tetragonal rutile phases was studied by means of \textit{ab initio} molecular dynamics, based on density functional theory with Hubbard…
Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is a phase change material that can reversibly change between high and low resistivity states through electronic and structural phase transitions. Thus far, VO2 memory devices have essentially been volatile at room…
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides MX2 (M = Mo, W, X = S, Se, Te) attracts enormous research interests in recent years. Its 2H phase possesses an indirect to direct bandgap transition in 2D limit, and thus shows great…
The Insulator-Metal-Transition adjoined by a structural transition of VO2 is induced above room temperature (340 K) by heating or self-heating. A steep resistance-jump of up to five orders of magnitude occurs at this transition in high…
We have systematically studied a variety of vanadium dioxide (VO2) crystalline forms, including bulk single crystals and oriented thin films, using infrared (IR) near-field spectroscopic imaging techniques. By measuring the IR spectroscopic…
In order to study the origin of metallization of VO$_2$ induced by electron injection, we deposit K atoms onto the surface of VO$_2$ films grown on TiO$_2$ (001) substrates, and we investigate the change in the electronic and crystal…
The temperature dependence of the Mott metal-insulator transition (MIT) is studied with a VO_2-based two-terminal device. When a constant voltage is applied to the device, an abrupt current jump is observed with temperature. With increasing…
In this paper we used Raman spectroscopy to investigate the optical properties of vanadium dioxide (VO2) thin films during the thermally induced insulating to metallic phase transition. We observed a significant difference in transition…
VO2 is a much-discussed material for oxide electronics and neuromorphic computing applications. Here, heteroepitaxy of vanadium dioxide (VO2) was realized on top of oxide nanosheets that cover either the amorphous silicon dioxide surfaces…
We investigated optical absorption coefficient spectra of an epitaxial VO2 film in wide photon energy (0.5 - 5.0 eV) and temperature (100 - 380 K) regions. In its insulating phase, we observed two d-d transition peaks around 1.3 eV and 2.7…
The formation of VO2 crystalline domains in amorphous substoichiometric nanocolumnar VOx thin films subjected to an oxidation process at temperatures below 300{\deg}C has been studied. It is obtained that values of [O]/[V] above 1.9 lead to…
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…
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…
In this work, we report the design of a wavelength-tunable infrared metamaterial by exciting magnetic resonance with phase transition of vanadium dioxide (VO2). Numerical simulation shows a broad absorption peak at the wavelength of 10.9 um…
Dynamic control of conductivity and optical properties via atomic structure changes is of tremendous technological importance in information storage. Energy consumption considerations provide a driving force toward employing thin materials…
VO2 is well known for its dual phase transitions; electrical as well as structural, at a single temperature of 340K. The low temperature structural phases of VO2 are different from its high temperature counterpart by means of structural…
The temperature ($T$) dependent metal-insulator transition (MIT) in VO$_2$ is investigated using bulk sensitive hard x-ray ($\sim$ 8 keV) valence band, core level, and V 2$p-3d$ resonant photoemission spectroscopy (PES). The valence band…
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…
