“…Vanadium dioxide is the most attractive oxide among the metal oxides because of its phase transition near room temperature (~340 K) . This first order phase transition (structural change from the monoclinic‐low temperature phase to tetragonal structure‐high temperature phase) accompanies with the change of band structure from insulator to metal (resistivity jump) and a sudden change of infrared (IR) transmittance . The phase transition of VO 2 can be initiated by various physical stimulations (temperature change, electric field, physical stress, electromagnetic wave, etc.)…”

We present the effects of organic additives (sucrose, polyvinylalcohol [PVA], and polyvinylpyrrolidone [PVP]) on a precursor solution (VO2+ ion) to the physicochemical properties of the thermally deposited VO2 film on sapphire (0001) plane. All the VO2 films, which deposited with assistance of the organic chemicals, showed a sudden change in resistance measurement near 340 K, but the sudden change did not appear in the film which deposited without the organic additives. The X‐ray diffractometer patterns of the films show monoclinic type VO2 (M‐VO2) as main phase, which has preferred growing axis (020) and (−211), and V2O5 as impurity phase. The intensity of the impurity peaks was minimized in PVP‐assisted deposition and showed the best performance as a smart window, ~10% transmittance gap between low and high temperature phases at 1550 nm. The atomic ratio of oxygen/carbon in the organic additives (1:1 in sucrose –[CH2O]n–, 1:2 in PVA –[C2H4O]n–, and 1:6 in PVP –[C6H9NO]n–) seems an important condition to determine the performance of the smart window.

“…To emphasize the importance of VO 2 and its potential applications, the reader is directed to a rather incomplete collection of recent articles that address this topic [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]. Here we focus on the I–M domain structure in the mixed state of VO 2 crystals during switching and to the damage caused by the structural changes [12]—both visible under the microscope due to the optical changes [13].…”

VO2 is the prototype material for insulator–metal transition (IMT). Its transition at TIMT = 340 K is fast and consists of a large resistance jump (up to approximately five orders of magnitude), a large change in its optical properties in the visible range, and symmetry change from monoclinic to tetragonal (expansion by 1% along the tetragonal c-axis and 0.5% contraction in the perpendicular direction). It is a candidate for potential applications such as smart windows, fast optoelectronic switches, and field-effect transistors. The change in optical properties at the IMT allows distinguishing between the insulating and the metallic phases in the mixed state. Static or dynamic domain patterns in the mixed-state of self-heated single crystals during electric-field induced switching are in strong contrast with the percolative nature of the mixed state in switching VO2 films. The most impressive effect—so far unique to VO2—is the sliding of narrow semiconducting domains within a metallic background in the positive sense of the electric current. Here we show images from videos obtained using optical microscopy for sliding domains along VO2 needles and confirm a relation suggested in the past for their velocity. We also show images for the disturbing damage induced by the structural changes in switching VO2 crystals obtained for only a few current–voltage cycles.

“…While the rendering colors of the designed devices can represent the working state in the other spectra, like a pH indicator, it will therefore enhance efficiency and cost effectiveness. Phase-change materials exhibit broadband electromagnetic response with tunable properties, such as germanium-antimony-tellurium alloys (Ge 2 Sb 2 Te 5 ) [25][26][27][28], and vanadium dioxide (VO 2 ) [29], which could be excellent candidates for multiband and multifunctional applications. VO 2 , an iconic example of a correlated electron material, has received significant attention because of its insulating-metallic transition (IMT) at ∼68°C [30,31].…”

Metamaterials have demonstrated exotic electromagnetic properties, which offer a good platform for realizing light absorption, photodetection, filtering, and so on. However, broadband multifunctional metamaterial absorbers are restricted in cascaded structures. Here, broadband multifunctional properties were realized by introducing vanadium dioxide into a metamaterial absorber. Through the modified design and highly efficient utilization of multiple resonant modes, both plasmonic tunable color filters and near-infrared photodetectors can be simultaneously achieved by this construction. Meanwhile, active color and a photodetection band in the near-infrared range can become tunable with the insulating-metallic transition of vanadium dioxide. Thus, the variations of rendering colors could correspondingly indicate shifts of the near-infrared photodetection bands. This method theoretically confirms the feasibility of designing multifunctional devices via a vanadium-dioxide-based metamaterial absorber, which holds great promise for future versatile utilization of multiple physical mechanisms to achieve numerous functionalities in a simple nanostructure or device.
