Mechanism of strain relaxation: key to control of structural and electronic transitions in VO2 thin-films

VO2 is a smart transition-metal oxide, which exhibits a tetragonal-to-monoclinic phase transition at ∼ 68°C. We report a case where both tetragonal and monoclinic phases exist in relaxed and strained domains, respectively, above the transition temperature. The epitaxial nucleation of these relaxed d...
