Role of the lattice in the light-induced insulator-to-metal transition in vanadium dioxide
Vanadium dioxide is a model material system which exhibits a metal-to-insulator transition at 67^{∘}C. This holds potential for future ultrafast switching in memory devices but typically requires a purely electronic process to avoid the slow lattice response. The role of lattice vibrations is thus i...
