  • 作为典型的相变材料, 二氧化钒因为其接近室温的相变温度一直在金属-绝缘体的转变行为研究中备受关注. 各种不同种类的调制实验研究结果对二氧化钒相变机理的研究都提供了重要的线索. 这些实验不仅能够加深对各种过渡金属氧化物中的不同自旋的电子之间强关联作用的理解, 同时也为潜在应用拓展新的机会. 尽管二氧化钒的相变机制仍存在争议, 但在过去的几十年中, 人们为理解金属-绝缘相变机制付出了巨大的努力, 这都来源于各类二氧化钒调制实验的激励. 本工作在单晶和多晶二氧化钒中, 利用连续激光抽运-太赫兹探测技术对它们的调制机理进行了研究, 发现其在相同抽运通量下对太赫兹脉冲的吸收行为有明显的不同. 在系统地探讨了极具代表性的相变机理之后, 将单晶二氧化钒的相变机理归结为以电子结构为主导的Mott型相变, 将多晶二氧化钒的相变机理归结为以晶格畸变为主导的Peierls型相变. 以往的光学调制大多都是在飞秒激光抽运条件下进行的, 作为一种新的光学调制手段, 该工作是对以往全光调制实验的补充, 相信对二氧化钒相变机理的理解有新的帮助.
    As a typical phase transition material, vanadium dioxide has attracted much attention in the study of metal-insulator transition behavior since its phase transition temperature is close to room temperature. The experimental results of various modulation provide important clues to studying the vanadium dioxide phase transition mechanism. These experiments not only deepen the understanding of the strong correlation between electrons with different spins in various transition metal oxides, but also make an opportunity for exploring their potential practical applications. Although the phase transition mechanism of vanadium dioxide is still controversial, one has already made tremendous efforts to understand the mechanism of metal-insulation phase transition in the past few decades, which is stimulated from various experiments on vanadium dioxide modulation. Here in this work, the single crystal and polycrystalline vanadium dioxide are investigated. Their modulation mechanisms are studied by using the continuous laser pumping-terahertz probe technique, and it is found that the absorption behaviors of terahertz pulses at the same pump fluence are obviously different. After systematically discussing the representative phase transition mechanism, it is found that the phase transition of single crystal vanadium dioxide is attributed to the Mott-type phase transition dominated by the electronic structure, and that the polycrystalline vanadium dioxide originates from the Peierls-type phase transition occurring during the lattice distortion. In the past, most of the optical modulation was implemented under the condition of femtosecond laser pumping. The new optical modulation method given in this work, is a supplement to previous all-optical modulation experiment and more likely to be conducive to a more in-depth understanding of the modulation mechanism of vanadium dioxides.
