Switching adhesion forces by crossing the metal–insulator transition in Magnéli-type vanadium oxide crystals
Magnéli-type vanadium oxides form the homologous series VnO2n-1 and exhibit a temperature-induced, reversible metal–insulator first order phase transition (MIT). We studied the change of the adhesion force across the transition temperature between the cleavage planes of various vanadium oxide Magnél...
