Abstract |
|
The electrical properties of Vanadium Oxide thin films have long been a study because of Vanadium oxide’s unique properties. Vanadium Dioxide, when heated, exhibits a sharp change in conductivity; changing from an insulating medium to a conducting or semiconductor one. This has led to its use in a number of industries, especially in the engineering fields (smart windows, heat sensors). Measurements have been made to characterize this unusual change in electrical properties, including electrical resistance, as well as XRD measurements, Surface topography by FESEM measurements. To help better understand the metal-insulator transition we have been making electrical measurements with both different Reduction time, and reduction temperature by physical vapor deposition (thermal decomposition),. The grown thin films have been deposited on glass substrate |
