论文摘要
VO2是一种密切相关的材料,它经过可逆金属绝缘子过渡(MIT),并在加热后与结构相变(T = 67°C)结合。自发现以来,长期以来一直在争论绝缘状态的性质,并提出了不同的固态机制来解释其性质:莫特 - 哈伯德相关性,peierls扭曲或两者的组合。此外,现在仍然在不同程度的自由度之间的相互作用上缺乏共识:电荷,晶格,轨道及其对麻省理工学院的贡献。在本手稿中,我们将在MIT上调查由应用于薄VO2膜的拉伸应变引起的轨道演化。紧张的膜允许研究轨道和晶格自由度之间的相互作用,并阐明了MIT的性能。
VO2 is a strongly correlated material, which undergoes a reversible metal insulator transition (MIT) coupled to a structural phase transition upon heating (T= 67° C). Since its discovery the nature of the insulating state has long been debated and different solid-state mechanisms have been proposed to explain its nature: Mott-Hubbard correlation, Peierls distortion or a combination of both. Moreover, still now there is a lack of consensus on the interplay between the different degrees of freedom: charge, lattice, orbital and how they contribute to the MIT. In this manuscript we will investigate across the MIT the orbital evolution induced by a tensile strain applied to thin VO2 films. The strained films allowed to study the interplay between orbital and lattice degrees of freedom and to clarify MIT properties.
