In order to investigate the metal-insulator transition characteristics of VO2 devices annealed in reducing atmosphere after device fabrication at various temperature, electrical, chemical, and thermal characteristics are measured and analyzed. It is found that the sheet resistance and the insulator-metal transition point, induced by both voltage and thermal, decrease when the devices are annealed from 200 to 500 °C. The V 2p3/2 peak variation in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterization verifies the reduction of thin-films. A decrease of the transition temperature from voltage hysteresis measurements further endorse the reducing effects of the annealing on VO2 thin-film.

Radiative cooling in smart windows using VO - a dynamic thermal management material, is of potential interest for enhancing energy savings in buildings due to its both solar and emittance tuneability in response to changing temperatures. However, studies related to the effects of VO thin film microstructure in a multilayer system on emissivity regulation are currently lacking. The present study addresses the thermochromic and emissivity performance of VO/ZnSe/ITO/Glass Fabry-Perot (F-P) cavity thin film system, by manipulating the porosity in VO thin film.

We report the first application of broadband time-resolved pump-probe ellipsometry to study the ultrafast dynamics of the photoinduced insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) in vanadium dioxide (VO) thin films driven by 35 fs laser pulses. This novel technique enables the direct measurement of the time-resolved evolution of the complex pseudodielectric function of VO during the IMT. We have identified distinct thermal and nonthermal dynamics in the photoinduced IMT, which critically depends on the pump wavelength and fluence, while providing a detailed temporal and spectral phase map.

Machine vision techniques are widely applied for object identification in daily life and industrial production, where images are captured and processed by sensors, memories, and processing units sequentially. Neuromorphic optoelectronic synapses, as a preferable option to promote the efficiency of image recognition, are hotly pursued in non-ionizing radiation range, but rarely in ionizing radiation including X-rays. Here, the study proposes an X-ray optoelectronic synapse using amorphous GaO (a-GaO) thin film.

However, previous work relies on rigid substrates that cannot fit complex or non-planar surfaces. Here, we propose a flexible composite film by bonding a VO thin film and a polyimide (PI) substrate with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), which achieves efficient spectrally self-adaptive broadband absorption/emission and can convert between the daytime PT mode and nighttime RC mode.

VO is a promising phase change material offering a large contrast of electric, thermal, and optical properties when transitioning from semiconductor to metallic phase. Here we show that a hybrid metamaterial obtained by proper combination of a VO layer and a nanodisk gold array provides a tunable plasmonic gap resonance in the infrared range. Specifically, we have designed and fabricated a metal-insulator-metal gap resonance by inserting sub-wavelength VO film between a flat gold layer and a gold nanodisk resonator array.
