Superelastic metal-insulator phase transition in single-crystal VO[subscript 2] nanobeams

We investigated external-stress-induced metal-insulator phase transitions in cantilevered single-crystal VO[subscript 2] nanobeams at variable temperatures using a combined theoretical and experimental approach. An atomic force microscope was used to measure the force-displacement curve of the nanob...
