Millimeter-wave-triggering of insulator-to-metal transition in Vanadium dioxide

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Anja Skrivervik, Andreas Schueler, Anna Krammer, Andrei Müller, Fatemeh Qaderi Rahaqi

We establish insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) in Vanadium dioxide (VO2) by millimeter-wave (mm-wave) actuation, using two coupled dipole antennas: a simple one as a continuous mm-wave-source and the other one with an embedded VO2 part as an absorber. We ...
