RESEARCHERS DEVELOPED VO2 BASED MEMS MIRROR ACTUATOR THAT REQUIRES VERY LOW POWER
joint research by the US Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Directorateand Michigan State University have developed micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) actuator based on smart materials, specifically vanadium dioxide (VO2). In the room temperature, Vanadium dioxide exhibits the Mott transition. It is a not-well-understood phenomenon known to occur in transition metal chalcogenides and transition metal oxides. The research team was able to use VO2 …
