Abstract:
Vanadium dioxide (VO
2), a typical metal insulator transition material, potentially has wide applications in functional materials due to a change in property before and after phase transition.But such applications are limited by the phase transition temperature of 68.0 ℃.In this work, monoclinic VO
2 prepared on SiO
2/Si substrate was doped with low doses of W ions after ion implantation, before the films were annealed.Crystal structure of VO
2 films was damaged by W ion implantation at 1×10
15 ions/cm
2.After annealing at 400 ℃, monoclinic crystal structure of the film was partially recovered.After annealing, phase transition temperature of VO
2 thin films decreased by 8.9 ℃ with doping of 0.12%, the change rate being 74.2 ℃.Infrared emissivity was reduced to 0.46-0.35.Infrared emissivity in low temperature region was 0.14 lower than the original VO
2 film.These changes greatly improved infrared stealth performance of the film in low temperature region.
