Anomalous optical switching and thermal hysteresis during semiconductor-metal phase transition of VO{sub 2} films on Si substrate

Journal Article Leahu, G. ; Li Voti, R., E-mail: roberto.livoti@uniroma1.it ; Sibilia, C. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We present a detailed infrared study of the semiconductor-to-metal transition (SMT) in a vanadium dioxide (VO{sub 2}) film deposited on silicon wafer. The VO{sub 2} phase transition is studied in the mid-infrared region by analyzing the transmittance and the reflectance measurements, and the calculated emissivity. The reflectance has been measured in two configurations: from the side of the VO{sub 2} film and from that of Si wafer. The results show a strong asymmetry between the emissivity in the two configurations, and the fact that the emissivity dynamic range from the silicon side is twice as large than that from themore »« less

Conductive transition metal oxide nanostructured electrochromic material and optical switching devices constructed thereof

Patent Mattox, Tracy M. ; Koo, Bonil ; Garcia, Guillermo ; ...

An electrochromic device includes a nanostructured transition metal oxide bronze layer that includes one or more transition metal oxide and one or more dopant, a solid state electrolyte, and a counter electrode. The nanostructured transition metal oxide bronze selectively modulates transmittance of near-infrared (NIR) spectrum and visible spectrum radiation as a function of an applied voltage to the device.
