Orbital occupancy control in correlated oxides allows the realization of new electronic
phases and collective state switching under external stimuli. The resultant structural and …

Although phase transitions have long been a centerpiece of condensed matter materials
science studies, a number of recent efforts focus on potentially exploiting the resulting …

Progress in the development of energy-efficient coatings on glass has led to the study of
smart glass with special functional coatings that can regulate solar energy in response to an …

Mastering dynamic free-space spectral control and modulation in the near-infrared (NIR)
and optical regimes remains a challenging task that is hindered by the available functional …

We present a design of terahertz (THz) perfect absorber (TPA) based on thermotropic phase
change material vanadium dioxide (VO 2). The TPA device is composed of a metal-insulator …

Memory effects are ubiquitous in nature and are particularly relevant at the nanoscale where
the dynamical properties of electrons and ions strongly depend on the history of the system …

Transparent conductors (TCs) have a multitude of applications for solar energy utilization
and for energy savings, especially in buildings. The largest of these applications, in terms of …

Vanadium dioxide (VO 2), with the first-order metal-insulator phase transition at near room
temperature, has attracted increasing attention in the past few decades. With rapid electrical …

The ability of VO2 to undergo semiconductor-to-metal phase transition (SMT) upon heating
makes it a very attractive material for uncooled bolometers. The SMT of VO2 represents a …

Spatially resolved dynamically reconfigurable control of thermal emission has
comprehensive implications for fundamental science and technological applications, such …
