Thin films of tungsten-doped vanadium oxide were fabricated on an alumina substrate by spin coating technology. A V 2O 5 solution was prepared by an inorganic sol–gel method, which was a fairly cheap and effective process. As-coated V 2O 5 films turned to VO 2 films during heat treatment in a reduci...
