Optimised atmospheric pressure CVD of monoclinic VO2 thin films with picosecond phase transition
in Surface and Coatings Technology
| Description | we have developed CVD process to give a significant degree of control of film morphology (crystal phase) via introducing a nucleation layer. This has significantly enhanced the opto-electronic properties which our collaborator institute (Southampton University) is characterising and assessing for device integration. |
| Exploitation Route | The thin film electro-optic layers could be placed onto thermally more conducting substrates. |
| Sectors | Aerospace, Defence and Marine,Electronics |
| Description | We have assessed the potential for controlled orientation vanadium oxide (VO2 phase) for optoelectronic fast switching (the opto-electronic properties being evaluated by partner Southampton University). The research objectives were high risk/high impact if successful. We have only been partly successful. We now need to review the original technological impact routes and explore where the demonstrated properties might be relevant. |
