We present a detailed account of the physics of Vanadium sesquioxide (${\rm V_2O_3}$), a benchmark system for studying correlation induced metal-insulator transition(s). Based on a detailed perusal of a wide range of experimental data, we…
The insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) in vanadium dioxide (VO2) has garnered extensive attention for its potential applications in ultrafast switches, neuronal network architectures, and storage technologies. However, a significant…
Motivated by recent results of $N$th order muffin-tin orbital (NMTO) implementation of the density functional theory (DFT), we re-examine low-temperature ground-state properties of the anti-ferromagnetic insulating phase of vanadium…
The metal-insulator transition (MIT) in rare-earth nickelates exemplifies the intricate interplay between electronic correlations and lattice dynamics in quantum materials. This work focuses on SmNiO$_3$ as a prototypical system, employing…
Electrostatic control of the metal-insulator transition (MIT) in an oxide semiconductor could potentially impact the emerging field of oxide electronics. Vanadium dioxide is of particular interest due to the fact that the MIT happens in the…
Controlling the insulator-metal transition (IMT) in correlated oxide system through oxygen vacancy ordering opens up a new paradigm for exploring exotic structural transformation and physical functionality. Oxygen vacancy serves as a…
Amorphous vanadium dioxide (VO$_{2}$) films deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) were crystallized with an ex situ anneal at 660-670 ${\deg}$C for 1-2 hours under a low oxygen pressure (10$^{-4}$ to 10$^{-5}$ Torr). Under these…
VO2 features concomitant structural and metal-insulator transitions. This poses a challenge for understanding the underlying mechanism: is the transition triggered by a structural or by an electronic instability? The two scenarios are…
We report the epitaxial growth and the electrical properties, especially the metal-to-insulator transition (MIT), of vanadium dioxide (VO2) thin films synthesized on LSAT (111) ([LaAlO3]0.3[Sr2AlTaO6]0.7) substrates by pulsed laser…
V2O3 is an archetypal system for the study of correlation induced, Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator transitions. Despite decades of extensive investigations, the accurate description of its electronic properties remains an open problem in the…
Vanadium dioxide (VO$_2$) has received significant interest in the context of nanophotonic metamaterials and memories owing to its reversible insulator-metal transition associated with significant changes in its optical and electronic…
The microscopic mechanism of the metal-insulator transition is studied by orbital-resolved 51V NMR spectroscopy in a prototype of the quasi-one-dimensional system V6O13. We uncover that the transition involves a site-selective d orbital…
LV4O8 (L = Yb, Y, Lu) compounds are reported to crystallize in a structure similar to that of the orthorhombic CaFe2O4 structure-type, and contain four inequivalent V sites arranged in zigzag chains. We confirm the structure and report the…
Structural transformation between metallic (1T) and semiconducting (2H) phases of single-layered MoS2 was systematically investigated by an in situ STEM with atomic precision. The 1T/2H phase transition is comprised of S and/or Mo…
We present results from an experimental study of the equilibrium and non-equilibrium transport properties of vanadium oxide nanobeams near the metal-insulator transition (MIT). Application of a large electric field in the insulating phase…
Defects in the rutile TiO${}_2$ structures have been extensively studied, but the intrinsic defects of the oxygen deficient Ti${}_n$O${}_{2n-1}$ phases have not been given the same amount of consideration. Those structures, known as…
Multilayer (TiO$_2$)$_m$/(VO$_2$)$_n$ nanostructures ($d^1$ - $d^0$ interfaces with no polar discontinuity) show a metal-insulator transition with respect to the VO$_2$ layer thickness in first principles calculations. For $n$ $\geq$ 5…
Rutile ($R$) phase VO$_2$ is a quintessential example of a strongly correlated bad-metal, which undergoes a metal-insulator transition (MIT) concomitant with a structural transition to a V-V dimerized monoclinic phase below T$_{MIT} \sim…
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…
Emergent magnetic states at oxide interfaces arise from the interplay of charge transfer, orbital reconstruction, and dimensional confinement, offering a route to engineered correlated-electron behavior in nanoscale spintronic materials.…
