Abstract

Vanadium oxide nanoparticles were synthesized with controlled size and dispersity by gas phase cluster beam deposition. The composition of the nanoparticle film is dominated with VO2 nanoparticles. The VO2 nanoparticles undergo a phase transition between the room temperature monoclinic insulator phase and the higher temperature rutile metal phase. In the metallic phase, the VO2 nanoparticles exhibit a strong surface plasmon resonance in the near-IR region from 900nm to the 2000nm, which generates a large enhancement on the extinction coefficient. This plasmon resonance is thermally controlled by the VO2 MIT and can be used to improve the optical switching characteristics of VO2 based devices in the near-IR region.
