Abstract

Abstract

This article mainly investigated the effects of heavy rare earth terbium element (Tb) doping on the phase structure, microstructure, phase transition temperature, optical, and mechanical properties of vanadium dioxide thin films V_1-xTb_xO₂(x=0,1,2,3,4)(M). The analysis results show that the diffraction peaks of V_1-xTb_xO₂(x=0,1,2,3,4)(M) samples are sharp, with no other impurity peaks observed, indicating high crystallinity and purity. Tb element doping can significantly affect the microstructural characteristics of vanadium dioxide, with the phase transition temperature decreasing as the Tb doping level increases, reaching 59.01 ℃ at a doping level of 4%. UV-Vis-NIR analysis indicates enhanced optical properties of vanadium dioxide thin films at Tb doping levels of 1%~4%. At 2% Tb doping, solar modulating ability (ΔT_sol) reaches 9.1%, and visible transmittance (T_lum) is 61.5%. At 4% Tb doping, visible transmittance reaches 72.5%. Mechanical property tests show that Tb doping enhances the mechanical properties of vanadium dioxide thin films. When the doping level is 2%, the mechanical properties of VO₂ films exhibit maximum values, with elastic modulus and hardness being 83.6065 GPa and 8.0026 GPa, respectively.
