Title: Electrical and structural properties of VO₂ in an electric field

Abstract

We examined the electrical and local structural properties of a VO₂ film at different electric fields using electrical resistance and x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurements at the V K edge in the temperature range of 30–100 °C. The T_c value of the metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) during both heating and cooling decreases with electric field. When the electric field exceeds a certain value, the MIT becomes sharper due to Joule heating. Furthermore, the MIT, the structural phase transition (SPT), and the pre-edge peak transition of the VO₂ do not congruently occur at a uniform temperature. A metallic VO₂ is observed in only the rutile (or M2) symmetry. An electric field induces a substantial amount of conduction electrons in insulating VO₂. Simultaneously measured resistance and XAFS reveal that Joule heating caused by an external electric field significantly affects the MIT and SPT of VO₂.

Decoupling the metal insulator transition and crystal field effects of VO₂

Journal Article Hwang, In-Hui ; Park, Chang-In ; Yeo, Sunmog ; ... - Scientific Reports

VO₂ is a highly correlated electron system which has a metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) with a dramatic change of conductivity accompanied by a first-order structural phase transition (SPT) near room temperature. The origin of the MIT is still controversial and there is ongoing debate over whether an SPT induces the MIT and whether the T_c can be engineered using artificial parameters. We examined the electrical and local structural properties of Cr- and Co-ion implanted VO₂ (Cr-VO₂ and Co-VO₂) films using temperature-dependent resistance and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurements at the V K edge.

In situ x-ray diffraction studies on epitaxial VO{sub 2} films grown on c-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} during thermally induced insulator-metal transition

Journal Article Okimura, Kunio ; Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Science, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 ; Sakai, Joe ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

The structural phase transition (SPT) of VO{sub 2} films epitaxially grown on c-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} substrates by pulsed laser deposition and reactive sputtering was investigated by in situ temperature-controlled x-ray diffraction (XRD) across metal-insulator transition (MIT). An intermediate insulator phase was observed between room temperature monoclinic phase and high temperature metallic tetragonal phase. Gaussian curve fittings for measured XRD patterns revealed a significant contribution of the intermediate phase covering wide temperature range across MIT. Polycrystalline VO{sub 2} films grown on Si substrates revealed pure rutile phase after MIT in contrast with the epitaxial films on c-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} substrates. Strainedmore »« less

Directly measuring the structural transition pathways of strain-engineered VO₂ thin films

Journal Article Evlyukhin, Egor ; Howard, Sebastian A. ; Paik, Hanjong ; ... - Nanoscale

Epitaxial films of vanadium dioxide (VO₂) on rutile TiO₂ substrates provide a means of strain-engineering the transition pathways and stabilizing of the intermediate phases between monoclinic (insulating) M1 and rutile (metal) R end phases. In this work, we investigate structural behavior of epitaxial VO₂ thin films deposited on isostructural MgF₂ (001) and (110) substrates via temperature-dependent Raman microscopy analysis. The choice of MgF₂ substrate clearly reveals how elongation of V–V dimers accompanied by the shortening of V–O bonds triggers the intermediate M2 phase in the temperature range between 70–80 °C upon the heating–cooling cycles. Consistent with earlier claims of strain-inducedmore »« less

Large epitaxial bi-axial strain induces a Mott-like phase transition in VO{sub 2}

Journal Article Kittiwatanakul, Salinporn ; Wolf, Stuart A. ; Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia 22904 ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

The metal insulator transition (MIT) in vanadium dioxide (VO{sub 2}) has been an important topic for recent years. It has been generally agreed upon that the mechanism of the MIT in bulk VO{sub 2} is considered to be a collaborative Mott-Peierls transition, however, the effect of strain on the phase transition is much more complicated. In this study, the effect of the large strain on the properties of VO{sub 2} films was investigated. One remarkable result is that highly strained epitaxial VO{sub 2} thin films were rutile in the insulating state as well as in the metallic state. These highlymore »« less

Negative capacitance switching via VO{sub 2} band gap engineering driven by electric field

Journal Article He, Xinfeng ; Xu, Jing ; Xu, Xiaofeng ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We report the negative capacitance behavior of an energy band gap modulation quantum well with a sandwich VO{sub 2} layer structure. The phase transition is probed by measuring its capacitance. With the help of theoretical calculations, it shows that the negative capacitance changes of the quantum well device come from VO{sub 2} band gap by continuously tuning the temperature or voltage. Experiments reveal that as the current remains small enough, joule heating can be ignored, and the insulator-metal transition of VO{sub 2} can be induced by the electric field. Our results open up possibilities for functional devices with phase transitionsmore »« less
