Bm. Gorelov et al., A change in the microwave radiation reflection upon a dielectric-metal transition in vanadium dioxide, TECH PHYS L, 27(2), 2001, pp. 157-159
The microwave radiation reflection coefficient of pure vanadium dioxide and
its compositions with dielectrics exhibits a jumplike change upon a sample
transition from dielectric into metallic state. The reflection coefficient
may either increase or decrease, the sign and magnitude of the effect depe
nding on the electromagnetic field frequency and the sample thickness. The
phenomenon is explained by changes in the wave interference conditions upon
the phase transition. (C) 2001 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
