- Abstract
- The thermal properties of VO2 thin films, 90-440 nm thick, are measured by time-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) across the metal-insulator transition (MIT). The thermal conductivity increases by as much as 60% in the metallic phase; this increase in conductivity is in good agreement with the expected electronic contribution to the thermal conductivity. For relatively thick layers, TDTR data are sensitive to the dynamic heat capacity and show a pronounced peak near the MIT temperature created by a contribution to the enthalpy from periodic transformations at the 10 MHz frequency of the thermal waves used in the experiment. The dynamic heat capacity increases as the amplitude Delta T of the thermal waves becomes comparable to the width of the MIT and reaches approximate to 30% of the bulk latent heat for Delta T approximate to 1.6 K.
