including transition-metal oxides, organic and molecular conductors, intermetallic …

Raman spectroscopy is a branch of vibrational spectroscopy, which allows an easy
interpretation and highly sensitive structural identification of trace amounts of chemicals …

Engineering metamaterials with tunable resonances from mid-infrared to near-infrared
wavelengths could have far-reaching consequences for chip based optical devices, active …

VO 2-based films are thermochromic and show infrared reflectance above a “critical”
temperature in the vicinity of room temperature. Implementations on energy efficient …

Resonance Raman (RR) spectroscopy has several advantages over the normal Raman
spectroscopy (RS) widely used for in situ characterization of solid catalysts and catalytic …

In addition to its metal-insulator transition (MIT), VO 2 exhibits a rich phase behavior of
insulating monoclinic (M1, M2) and triclinic (T) phases. By using micro-Raman spectroscopy …

This paper describes a solution-phase synthesis of high-quality vanadium dioxide
thermochromic thin films. The films obtained showed excellent visible transparency and a …

Defects are known to affect nanoscale phase transitions, but their specific role in the metal-to-
insulator transition in VO2 has remained elusive. By combining plasmon resonance …
