Abstract

Doping VO(2) with tungsten can lower the metal-insulator transition (MIT) temperature and thus provide a controlled means for tailoring the MIT properties of VO(2) materials. Here, infrared spectroscopy has been employed as a tool for identifying structural changes in doped VO(2) as a way of lowering the MIT temperature.
