The importance of Joule heating on the voltage-triggered insulator-to-metal transition in VO₂

The large change in resistivity in the material VO₂ has attracted considerable attention since it was first discovered in 1959. Recently, the ability to trigger the insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) with a strong electric field has been observed, but there has been debate about whether the transit...
