The Stability Study on Vanadium Dioxide

Abstract

Vanadium dioxide (VO2) has attracted much interest in material field due to its unique semiconductor-metal phase transition properties. And now, the problem of stability has been highlighted and concerned for the practical application in VO2. In order to establish a relatively complete guide of stability study on VO2which would contribute to deeply and systematically researches, the article made a review of the stability study on VO2 from thermal excitation, photo-excitation and electro-excitation. Moreover, the key aspects for future research on the stability study of VO2was proposed.
