Title: Heterogeneous nucleation and growth dynamics in the light-induced phase transition in vanadium dioxide

Abstract

Here we report on ultrafast optical investigations of the light-induced insulator-to-metal phase transition in vanadium dioxide with controlled disorder generated by substrate mismatch. These results reveal common dynamics of this optically-induced phase transition that are independent of this disorder. Lastly, above the fluence threshold for completing the transition to the rutile crystalline phase, we find a common time scale, independent of sample morphology, of 40.5 ± 2 ps that is consistent with nucleation and growth dynamics of the R phase from the parent M1 ground state.

Phase-selective vanadium dioxide (VO{sub 2}) nanostructured thin films by pulsed laser deposition

Journal Article Masina, B. N., E-mail: BMasina@csir.co.za, E-mail: slafane@cdta.dz ; School of Physics, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Private Bag X54001, Durban 4000 ; Lafane, S., E-mail: BMasina@csir.co.za, E-mail: slafane@cdta.dz ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Thin films of monoclinic nanostructured vanadium dioxide are notoriously difficult to produce in a selective manner. To date, post-annealing, after pulsed laser deposition (PLD), has been used to revert the crystal phase or to remove impurities, and non-glass substrates have been employed, thus reducing the efficacy of the transparency switching. Here, we overcome these limitations in PLD by optimizing a laser-ablation and deposition process through optical imaging of the laser-induced plasma. We report high quality monoclinic rutile-type vanadium dioxide (VO{sub 2}) (M1) nanoparticles without post-annealing, and on a glass substrate. Our samples demonstrate a reversible metal-to-insulator transition at ∼43 °C, withoutmore »« less

The nature of photoinduced phase transition and metastable states in vanadium dioxide

Journal Article Tao, Zhensheng ; Zhou, Faran ; Han, Tzong-Ru T. ; ... - Scientific Reports

Photoinduced threshold switching processes that lead to bistability and the formation of metastable phases in photoinduced phase transition of VO₂ are elucidated through ultrafast electron diffraction and diffusive scattering techniques with varying excitation wavelengths. We uncover two distinct regimes of the dynamical phase change: a nearly instantaneous crossover into an intermediate state and its decay led by lattice instabilities over 10 ps timescales. The structure of this intermediate state is identified to be monoclinic, but more akin to M₂ rather than M1 based on structure refinements. The extinction of all major monoclinic features within just a few picoseconds at themore »« less

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.

Unifying the order and disorder dynamics in photoexcited VO₂

Journal Article Liu, Hao-Wen ; Liu, Wen-Hao ; Suo, Zhao-Jun ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Photoinduced phase transition (PIPT) is always treated as a coherent process, but ultrafast disordering in PIPT is observed in recent experiments. Utilizing the real-time time-dependent density functional theory method, here we track the motion of individual vanadium (V) ions during PIPT in VO₂ and uncover that their coherent or disordered dynamics can be manipulated by tuning the laser fluence. We find that the photoexcited holes generate a force on each V–V dimer to drive their collective coherent motion, in competing with the thermal-induced vibrations. If the laser fluence is so weak that the photoexcited hole density is too low tomore »« less

Formation of VO{sub 2} by rapid thermal annealing and cooling of sputtered vanadium thin films

Journal Article Ba, Cheikhou O. F., ; Fortin, Vincent ; Bah, Souleymane T. ; ... - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology. A, Vacuum, Surfaces and Films

Sputtered vanadium-rich films were subjected to rapid thermal annealing-cooling (RTAC) in air to produce vanadium dioxide (VO{sub 2}) thin films with thermochromic switching behavior. High heating and cooling rates in the thermal oxidation process provided an increased ability to control the film's microstructure. X-ray diffraction patterns of the films revealed less intense VO{sub 2} peaks compared to traditional polycrystalline samples fabricated with a standard (slower) cooling time. Such films also exhibit a high optical switching reflectance contrast, unlike the traditional polycrystalline VO{sub 2} thin films, which show a more pronounced transmittance switching. The authors find that the RTAC process stabilizesmore »« less
