VO 2 , of interest for decades due to both its phenomenology and its potential applications, has a monoclinic distortion of the rutile crystal structure at ambient temperature that is coupled to its metal-insulator transition (MIT). In contrast, RuO 2 has three electrons more per formula unit, is a metallic conductor, and has an undistorted rutile structure. Here we report a systematic study of Ru-doped VO 2 (V 1-x Ru x O 2 , 0.01 ≤ x ≤ 0.9); generally characterizing its crystal structure…

Suppression of Metal-Insulator Transition in VO2 by Electric Field–Induced Oxygen Vacancy Formation

It is found that electrolyte gating of epitaxial thin films of VO2 suppresses the metal-to-insulator transition and stabilizes the metallic phase to temperatures below 5 kelvin, even after the ionic liquid is completely removed.

Composition-dependent charge transfer and phase separation in the V1-xRexO2 solid solution.

Composed X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies showed that an increased amount of Re leads to a change in the Re valence state from solely Re6+ at a low doping level via mixed-valence states Re4+/Re6+ for at least 0.03, while intermediate compositions are subjected to a phase separation, presumably due to different valence states of Re.

Contribution to the study of the metal-insulator transition in the V1−xNbxO2 system: I — crystallographic and transport properties

Understanding the nature of the kinetic process in a VO2 metal-insulator transition.

The temperature-dependent in situ x-ray absorption fine structure measurement and density-functional theory calculations have revealed that the monoclinic-to-tetragonal phase transition of VO2 near the critical temperature is characterized by a sharp decrease of the twisting angle δ of the nearest V-V coordination.

Electronic Properties of V O 2 near the Semiconductor-Metal Transition

Optical, thermal, magnetic, and transport properties of V${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ in the vicinity of the semiconductor-metal transition temperature of 68\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}C are discussed…

Orbital-assisted metal-insulator transition in VO2.

These results strongly suggest that, in going from the metallic to the insulating state, the orbital occupation changes in a manner that charge fluctuations and effective bandwidths are reduced, that the system becomes more one dimensional and more susceptible to a Peierls-like transition.
