Abstract

VO₂ thin films were prepared on soda-lime glass substrates by DC magnetron sputtering at room temperature using vanadium target and post annealing in air. X-ray diffraction and FTIR spectroscopy analyses showed that the films obtained at the optimized parameters have high VO₂ (011) orientation. Both low temperature deposition and post annealing method were beneficial to grow the nano-films with pure VO₂ phase-structure and composition. Metalinsulator transition properties of the VO₂ films in terms of infrared transmittance, transmittance variation and film thickness were investigated under varying annealing temperature. Results showed that infrared transmittance variation and transition temperature of the nano-films were significantly improved and reduced respectively. Therefore, this study was able to develop practical low-cost preparation methods for high-performance intelligent energy-saving thin films.
