Tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide (VO2) nanopowders were prepared by thermolysis of (NH4)5[(VO)6(CO3)4(OH)9] · 10H2O at low temperature, with active white powdery tungstic acid used as a substitutional dopant. The composition and microstructure of the powders were examined by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope, and differential scanning calorimetry. The change in electrical resistance due to the S–M transition was measured from 0 to 150 °C by the four-probe method. Hysteresis loops and differential scanning calorimetry analysis of the samples indicated that the phase-transition temperature of VO2 nanopowders was 67.15 °C. For tungstendoped VO2 nanopowders, the temperature was reduced to 26.46 °C. After sintering the nanopowders, Tc rose from 26.46 °C to 34.85 °C with the sizes increasing to the bulk. A significant direct correlation between particle size and Tc was confirmed. The results indicated that white powdery tungstic acid is exceptionally effective as a dopant for reducing transition temperature.

Abstract In the range of 0.1–10^6 Hz, the temperature-induced transformation of the frequency dependences of the dielectric-loss tangent tanδ( f ) as well as the Cole–Cole diagrams for undoped vanadium-dioxide films are investigated. The measurements are carried out in the temperature range T = 273–373 K. It is shown that the shape of the Cole–Cole diagrams for all films depends slightly on the temperature in the specified interval, while the frequencies f _0 corresponding to the peaks of the function tanδ( f ) increase with temperature. The thermal-hysteresis loops of the frequency positions f _0( T ) of the peaks are measured. When interpreting the data of dielectric spectroscopy, a complex equivalent electrical circuit of the sample is used; it makes it possible to detect the presence of two types of grains with different electrical properties in undoped VO_2 films. The presence of two types of grains determines the features of the semiconductor–metal phase-transition mechanism in VO_2 films.

AbstractIn this work, we report the formation of a new type of active or “smart” surface that is produced by ion implantation and thermal processing. By co-implanting vanadium and oxygen into a single-crystal sapphire substrate and annealing the system under appropriate conditions, it was possible to form buried precipitates of vanadium dioxide that were crystallographically oriented with respect to the host AI2O3 lattice. The implanted VO2 precipitate system undergoes a structural phase transition that is accompanied by large variations in the optical transmission which are comparable to those observed for thin films of VO2 deposited on sapphire. Co-implantation with oxygen was found to be necessary to ensure good optical switching behavior.

AbstractA systematic study of various metal-insulator transition (MIT) associated phases of VO2, including metallic R phase and insulating phases (T, M1, M2), is required to uncover the physics of MIT and trigger their promising applications. Here, through an oxide inhibitor-assisted stoichiometry engineering, we show that all the insulating phases can be selectively stabilized in single-crystalline VO2 beams at room temperature. The stoichiometry engineering strategy also provides precise spatial control of the phase configurations in as-grown VO2 beams at the submicron-scale, introducing a fresh concept of phase transition route devices. For instance, the combination of different phase transition routes at the two sides of VO2 beams gives birth to a family of single-crystalline VO2 actuators with highly improved performance and functional diversity. This work provides a substantial understanding of the stoichiometry-temperature phase diagram and a stoichiometry engineering strategy for the effective phase management of VO2.

Mg2+ and W6+ cations were first codoped into the VO2 lattice, resulting in a widened photon band gap and h+/e− charge carrier accumulation. These effects enhanced the thermochromic performance with a high visible transmission (∼80%) and a low phase transition temperature (∼30 °C).
