Abstract :
We present a detailed infrared study of the semiconductor-to-metal transition (SMT) in a vanadium dioxide film deposited on silicon wafer and in a multilayer Cu/VO2 Structure. All structures have been studied in the mid-infrared (MIR) region by analyzing the transmittance and the reflectance measurements.
