Persistent M2 phase in strongly strained (011)-oriented grains in VO2 films grown on sapphire (001) in reactive sputtering

We report on the first observation of the persistent M2 phase in strongly strained (011)-oriented grains in VO2 films grown on Al2O3 (001) substrates by means of conventional rf reactive sputtering under adequate deposition conditions. Spatially resolved micro-Raman spectra clearly showed that (011)...
