二氧化钒薄膜的变温红外光学特性研究

基于二氧化钒在约68℃出现的半导体到金属的可逆相变,伴随有电学和光学特性的改变。因为相变机制的复杂性,很难从理论上推导出相变前后光学常数随波长和温度变化的解析表达式。研究了二氧化钒薄膜的折射率和消光系数的色散规律,借助于Sellmeier色散模型通过数值拟合,得出了二氧化钒变温的光学常数色散表达式。通过薄膜矩阵理论计算,获得了在不同温度和波长条件下的薄膜光学透射率和反射率。采用磁控溅射方法分别在玻璃、蓝宝石和二氧化硅衬底上制备了不同厚度的二氧化钒薄膜,测量了这些薄膜的光学透射率和反射率,结果表明,实验曲线与计算模拟曲线符合得很好。     

在半导体-金属相变温度附近氧化钒薄膜光学性质的异常变动

在可见光—近红外波段的不同波长下,测量了半导体-金属相变过程中氧化钒薄膜样品的反射率和透射率.在薄膜相变过程中,不同波段的反射率曲线和透射率曲线表现出不同的变化趋势.利用非相干光在薄膜中的多级反射-透射模型,计算了相变过程中不同波长下氧化钒薄膜的折射率n和消光系数k随温度的变化.结果表明,在相变温度附近氧化钒薄膜光学性质的异常变动,其原因既有薄膜的折射率和消光系数随波长的变化趋势不同,也有在吸收性薄膜中存在探测光多次反射和透射的累加效应.     

二氧化钒薄膜光致绝缘体-金属相变的太赫兹时域光谱研究

二氧化钒薄膜在光的照射下,会从绝缘体相变为金属,伴随有电导率的剧变,该现象称之为光致绝缘体-金属相变。二氧化钒薄膜的这种相变对于太赫兹波段的调制器或者其他功能器件有重要应用。利用太赫兹时域光谱技术研究了二氧化钒薄膜光致绝缘体-金属相变前后的透射光谱变化,分析了该薄膜的这种光致相变在太赫兹波段的特性。实验中二氧化钒薄膜相变成金属的过程分别通过连续激光照射和飞秒激光照射实现。两种照射方式下,均观察到了明显的太赫兹波形变化,并且随着照射光功率的增大,信号的幅度衰减以及时域波形畸变逐渐加剧。进而通过对透射太赫兹时域信号的傅里叶变换光谱分析发现,在照射光功率增加时,不但该薄膜的透射光谱幅值在下降,而且其谱线形状也在随之改变,其原因为二氧化钒薄膜的色散特性在光照条件下逐渐趋向金属性所致。为清晰的描述光致相变的色散特点,用二氧化钒薄膜光照前后透射光谱的幅度差定义了透射率调制函数来描述上述现象。在透射率调制函数曲线上,能够明显的看出二氧化钒的这种光致相变在太赫兹波段具有强烈的频率相关性质,并且随照射光功率变化呈规律性演化。进一步对比发现,虽然连续光和飞秒激光照射方式都能引发光致相变,但在同样透射光谱情况下,对应的激发光功率存在明显不同,对这两种照射方式下的相变效率差别进行了分析和讨论。

10.6 μm Infrared light photoinduced insulator-to-metal transition in vanadium dioxide

Vanadium dioxide has excellent phase transition characteristic. Before or after phase transition, its optical, electrical, magnetic characteristic hangs hugely. It has a wide application prospect in many areas. Now, the light which can make vanadium dioxide come to pass photoinduced phase transition range from soft X-ray to medium infrared light (6.9 μm, 180 meV). However, whether 10.6 μm (117 meV) long wave infrared light can make vanadium dioxide generate photoinduced phase transition has been not studied. In this paper, we researched the response characteristic of vanadium dioxide excited by 10.6 μm infrared light. We prepared the vanadium dioxide and test the changes of vanadium dioxide thin film’s transmittance to 632.8 nm infrared light when the thin film is irradiate by CO₂ laser. We also test the resistivity of vanadium dioxide. Excluding the effect of thermal induced phase transition, we find that the transmittance of vanadium dioxide thin film to 632.8 nm light and resistivity both changes when irradiating by 10.6 μm laser. This indicates that 10.6 μm infrared light can make the vanadium dioxide come to pass photoinduced phase transition. The finding makes vanadium has a potential application in recording the long-wave infrared hologram and making infrared detector with high resolution.

VO_2薄膜Vis-NIR及NIR-MIR椭圆偏振光谱分析

采用射频磁控溅射在石英玻璃基底上反应溅射制备单斜相(M相)VO_2薄膜.利用V-VASE和IR-VASE椭圆偏振仪及变温附件分别在0.5—3.5 eV(350—2500 nm)和0.083—0.87 eV(1400—15000 nm)入射光能量范围内对相变前后的VO_2薄膜进行光谱测试,运用逐点拟合的方式,并通过薄膜的吸收峰的特征,在0.5—3.5 eV范围内添加3个Lorentz谐振子色散模型和0.083—0.87 eV范围内添加4个Gaussion振子模型对低温态半导体态的薄膜椭偏参数进行拟合,再对高温金属态的薄膜添加7个Lorentz谐振子色散模型对进行椭偏参数的拟合,得到了较为理想的拟合结果.结果发现:半导体态的VO_2薄膜的折射率在近红外-中红外基本保持在最大值3.27不变,且消光系数k在此波段接近于零,这是由于半导体态薄膜在可见光-近红外光范围内的吸收主要是自由载流子吸收,而半导体态薄膜的d//轨道内的电子态密度较小.高温金属态的VO_2薄膜的折射率n在近红外-中红外波段具有明显的增大趋势,且在入射光能量为0.45 eV时大于半导体态的折射率;消光系数k在近红外波段迅速增大,原因是在0.5—1.62 eV范围内,能带内的自由载流子浓度增加及电子在V_(3d)能带内发生带内的跃迁吸收,使k值迅速增加;当能量小于0.5 eV时k值变化平缓,是由于薄膜内自由载流子浓度和电子跃迁率趋于稳定所致.     

On the Optical Properties of Thin‐Film Vanadium Dioxide from the Visible to the Far Infrared

The insulator‐to‐metal transition (IMT) in vanadium dioxide (VO₂) can enable a variety of optics applications, including switching and modulation, optical limiting, and tuning of optical resonators. Despite the widespread interest in VO₂ for optics, the wavelength‐dependent optical properties across its IMT are scattered throughout the literature, are sometimes contradictory, and are not available at all in some wavelength regions. Here, the complex refractive index of VO₂ thin films across the IMT is characterized for free‐space wavelengths from 300 nm to 30 µm, using broadband spectroscopic ellipsometry, reflection spectroscopy, and the application of effective‐medium theory. VO₂ films of different thicknesses are studied, on two different substrates (silicon and sapphire), and grown using different synthesis methods (sputtering and sol–gel). While there are differences in the optical properties of VO₂ synthesized under different conditions, these differences are surprisingly small in the ≈2–11 µm range where the insulating phase of VO₂ also has relatively low optical loss. It is anticipated that the refractive‐index datasets from this article will be broadly useful for modeling and design of VO₂‐based optical and optoelectronic components, especially in the mid‐wave and long‐wave infrared.

The characteristics of Au:VO2 nanocomposite thin film for photo-electricity applications

Au nanoparticles have been fabricated on normal glass substrates using nanosphere lithography (NSL) method. Vanadium dioxide has been deposited on Au/glass by reactive radio frequency (rf) magnetron sputtering. The structure and composition were determined by X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscope. Electrical and optical properties of bare VO₂ and Au:VO₂ nanocomposite thin films were measured. Typical hysteresis behavior and sharp phase transition were observed. Nanopartical Au could effectively reduce the transition temperature to 40 °C. The transmittance spectrum for both Au:VO₂ nanocomposite thin film shows high transmittance under transition temperature and low transmittance above transition temperature. The characteristics present the Au:VO₂ nanocomposite thin film can be used for applications, such as “smart window” or “laser protector”.     

Thermally tunable optical constants of vanadium dioxide thin films measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry

Smart materials with reversible tunable optical constants from visible to near-infrared wavelengths could enable excellent control over the resonant response in metamaterials, tunable plasmonic nanostructures, optical memory based on phase transition and thermally tunable optical devices. Vanadium dioxide (VO₂) is a promising candidate that exhibits a dramatic change in its complex refraction index or complex dielectric function arising from a structural phase transition from semiconductor to metal at a critical temperature of 70 °C. We demonstrated the thermal controllable reversible tunability of optical constants of VO₂ thin films. The optical/dielectric constants showed an abrupt thermal hysteresis which confirms clearly the electronic structural changes. Temperature dependence of dielectric constants as well as optical conductivity of sputtered VO₂ thin films was also reported and compared to previous theoretical and experimental reports.
