Tuning the conductivity of vanadium dioxide films on silicon by swift heavy ion irradiation
We demonstrate the generation of a persistent conductivity increase in vanadium dioxide thin films grown on single crystal silicon by irradiation with 1 GeV 238U swift heavy ions at room temperature. VO2 undergoes a temperature driven metal-insulator-transition (MIT) at 67 °C. After room temperature...
