摘要
The magnetic properties of paramagnetic/weakly ferromagnetic films are strongly affected by the proximity to materials that undergo a metal to insulator phase transition. Here, we show that under the deposition conditions associated with structural changes near the metal-insulator phase transition of VO2 produces magnetoelastic anisotropy. We observe intrinsic paramagnetic centres (PM-C) both at the near film surface and bulk/deep PM-C that are affected by the metal-insulator phase transition in VO2. We study the evolution of vibrational modes of VO2 thin films in the vicinity of the phase transition by using temperature controlled-Raman microscopy. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
