Thermal hysteresis in scattering by VO<sub>2</sub> spheres
Thermal hysteresis in scattering by VO<sub>2</sub> spheres
Vanadium dioxide (VO2) transforms from purely monoclinic to purely tetragonal when heated from 58°C to 72°C, and the transformation is reversible but hysteretic. Electromagnetically, VO2 transforms from a dissipative dielectric to another dissipative dielectric if the free-space wavelength is λ0<1100nm; it transforms from a dissipative dielectric to a plasmonic metal …
