Controlling metal–insulator transitions in reactively sputtered vanadium sesquioxide thin films through structure and stoichiometry

Abstract We present a study of $$\hbox {V}_{2}\hbox {O}_{3}$$ V 2 O 3 thin films grown on c-plane $$\hbox {Al}_{2}\hbox {O}_{3}$$ Al 2 O 3 substrates by reactive dc-magnetron sputtering. Our results reveal three distinct types of films displaying different metal–insulator transitions dependent on th...
