Popis: V 2 O 3 films fabricated on (1010) or (1012) Al 2 O 3 substrates in a sol-gel process and subsequent annealing in a very low pressure exhibited an abrupt and large metal-insulator transition (MIT) near -104°C on heating. In this study, VO 2 films initially formed by a sol-gel process were effectively reduced to V 2 O 3 at an annealing temperature of ≥550°C in a vacuum without reducing gases. The V 2 O 3 films exhibited resistance changes as large as 2 X 10 4 -2 X 10 5 due to MIT with annealing temperatures ranging from 550 to 650°C, which are much lower than the process temperature reported in earlier studies.
