Tuning the metal-insulator transition by heterostructuring for novel electronics

Scientific Achievement: Researchers demonstrated that superlattices of alternating TiO2 and VO2 layers dramatically expand the tunability range of the metal–insulator transition (MIT) in the strongly correlated VO2.Significance and Impact: The demonstration of a wide tunability range for the electronic properties by heterostructuring suggests new approaches for the developing novel electronic devices using strongly correlated oxides.DOI: 10.1002/adfm.202004914

2D crystals conforming to 3D curves create strain for engineering quantum devices

A team led by scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory explored how atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) crystals can grow over 3D objects and how the curvature of those objects can stretch and strain the

Batteries – Promising electrode material

An Oak Ridge National Laboratory–led team discovered that vanadium dioxide in a crystalline thin film makes an outstanding electrode for lithium-ion batteries. Theory and computation predicted a high capacity for lithium storage, which experiments confirmed with tests in coin c...
