Nanoscale imaging of the electronic and structural transitions in vanadium dioxide.

Journal Article Qazilbash, M M ; Tripathi, A ; Schafgans, A A ; ... - Phys. Rev. B

We investigate the electronic and structural changes at the nanoscale in vanadium dioxide (VO{sub 2}) in the vicinity of its thermally driven phase transition. Both electronic and structural changes exhibit phase coexistence leading to percolation. In addition, we observe a dichotomy between the local electronic and structural transitions. Nanoscale x-ray diffraction reveals local, nonmonotonic switching of the lattice structure, a phenomenon that is not seen in the electronic insulator-to-metal transition mapped by near-field infrared microscopy.

Nanoscale structural evolution of electrically driven insulator to metal transition in vanadium dioxide

Journal Article Freeman, Eugene ; Shukla, Nikhil ; Datta, Suman ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

The structural evolution of tensile strained vanadium dioxide thin films was examined across the electrically driven insulator-to-metal transition by nanoscale hard X-ray diffraction. A metallic filament with rutile (R) structure was found to be the dominant conduction pathway for an electrically driven transition, while the majority of the channel area remained in the monoclinic M1 phase. The filament dimensions were estimated using simultaneous electrical probing and nanoscale X-ray diffraction. Analysis revealed that the width of the conducting channel can be tuned externally using resistive loads in series, enabling the M1/R phase ratio in the phase coexistence regime to be tuned.

Electronic structure and metal--insulator phase transition in structurally disordered vanadium dioxide

Journal Article Mokerov, V G ; Begishev, A R ; Ignat'ev, A S - Sov. Phys. - Solid State (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

A study was made of the influence of structural disorder created by ion bombardment on the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity sigma and spectral dependence of the absorption coefficient ..cap alpha..(h..omega..) of VO/sub 2/. The results confirmed that the metal--nonmetal transition occurred in a wide range of structural disorder and that the disorder increased the temperature range of the transition ..delta..T/sub t/ and reduced the effective temperature T/sub t//sup eff/. The disorder also reduced the changes in sigma and ..cap alpha.. associated with the phase transition and probably reduced the difference between the lattice parameters in the two phases.more »« less
Nanoscale Control of Oxygen Defects and Metal–Insulator Transition in Epitaxial Vanadium Dioxides

Journal Article Sharma, Yogesh ; Balachandran, Janakiraman ; Sohn, Changhee ; ... - ACS Nano

Strongly correlated vanadium dioxide (VO2) is one of the most promising materials that exhibits a temperature-driven, metal insulator transition (MIT) near room temperature. The ability to manipulate the MIT at nanoscale offers both insight into understanding the energetics of phase transition and a promising potential for nanoelectronic devices. In this work, we study nanoscale electrochemical modifications of the MIT in epitaxial VO2 thin films using a combined approach with scanning probe microscopy (SPM) and theoretical calculations. We find that applying electric voltages of different polarity through an SPM tip locally changes the contact potential difference and conductivity on the surfacemore »« less

Nanoscale probing of electron-regulated structural transitions in silk proteins by near-field IR imaging and nano-spectroscopy

Journal Article Qin, Nan ; Zhang, Shaoqing ; Jiang, Jianjuan ; ... - Nature Communications

Silk protein fibres produced by silkworms and spiders are renowned for their unparalleled mechanical strength and extensibility arising from their high-β-sheet crystal contents as natural materials. Investigation of β-sheet-oriented conformational transitions in silk proteins at the nanoscale remains a challenge using conventional imaging techniques given their limitations in chemical sensitivity or limited spatial resolution. Here, we report on electron-regulated nanoscale polymorphic transitions in silk proteins revealed by near-field infrared imaging and nano-spectroscopy at resolutions approaching the molecular level. The ability to locally probe nanoscale protein structural transitions combined with nanometre-precision electron-beam lithography offers us the capability to finely control themore »« less
