Abstract
We have fabricated vanadium oxide films by the method of oxidation of evaporated vanadium films, and found it possible to achieve a temperat ure coefficient of the resistance for a diode structure of 25% and mor e per degree Celsius-much higher than any previous result. The nature of the contact influences the sensitivity. The structures showed switc hing behavior, and also in some cases apparent quantum effects. The fi lms are composed of mixed oxides.
