Abstract
The thermochromic transition in vanadium dioxide has potential application as a smart energy-saving window coating, but the temperature of the transition must be depressed from 68°C to Earth ambient temperatures by the incorporation of transition metal impurities. In this paper, we describe a high throughput combinatorial experiment to characterize the V1-xMxO2 phase space, in which M is a non-V metal, for thermochromic transitions. Thin film combinatorial libraries are prepared by pulsed laser deposition on hot silicon substrates, and the M impurities are found to substitute into the VO2 crystalline lattice on the V-site. For M = Ta, Nb, and W, the thermochromic transition temperature is depressed with increasing M concentration. Co-doping with multiple M atoms is also easily accomplished by combinatorial synthesis and can have unexpected effects on the thermochromic transition.Proceedings Title
