The morphology of VO2/TiO2(001): terraces, facets, and cracks

Abstract Vanadium dioxide (VO2) features a pronounced, thermally-driven metal-to-insulator transition at 340 K. Employing epitaxial stress on rutile $$\text{TiO}_{2}(001)$$ TiO 2 ( 001 ) substrates, the transition can be tuned to occur close to room temperature. Striving for applications in oxide-el...
