As a key structural parameter, phase depicts the arrangement of atoms in materials.
Normally, a nanomaterial exists in its thermodynamically stable crystal phase. With the …

Metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) behaviors accompanied by a rapid reversible phase
transition in vanadium dioxide (VO2) have gained substantial attention for investigations into …

As a strongly correlated electron material, vanadium dioxide (VO 2) has been a focus of
research since its discovery in 1959, owing to its well-known metal–insulator transition …

QMCPACK is an open source quantum Monte Carlo package for ab initio electronic
structure calculations. It supports calculations of metallic and insulating solids, molecules …

Future‐generation neuromorphic computing seeks to overcome the limitations of von
Neumann architectures by colocating logic and memory functions, thereby emulating the …

First-order phase transitions in solids are notoriously challenging to study. The combination
of change in unit cell shape, long range of elastic distortion and flow of latent heat leads to …

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 …

The insulator-metal transition (IMT) of vanadium dioxide (VO2) has remained a long-
standing challenge in correlated electron physics since its discovery five decades ago. Most …

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 …
