Influence of Iron Alloying on the Properties of Vanadium Dioxide

Abstract

Results of investigations of the x-ray structural parameters of the crystal lattice and their temperature dependences in the vicinities of the metal-dielectric phase transition for V_1–xFe_xO₂ solid solutions are reported together with results of comparison of x-ray and pycnometric densities of these materials. The defect concentration in the materials under study is estimated at room temperature.
