Abstract:
Vanadium dioxide, a well-known phase transition material with abrupt resistance change during its transition temperature, is herein used to fabricate the transparent mesh film onto a glass slide through self-assembly mesh printing. A record high ON/OFF ratio up to 104 is achieved together with high visible transmittance of 86% compared to the normal glass slide with visible transmittance at 88%. The high transparent properties make the resistive switches applicable for next-generation electronics, such as see-through computing device and beyond. A simple and scalable mesh printing approach-integrated phase change material may provide a promising way to fabricate transparent resistance switches for next-generation electronics.

Schottky Barriers
Schottky barriers arise when a metal with a work function (Φm) contacts a semiconductor with a different work function (Φs). Initially, electrons transfer until the Fermi levels of the metal and semiconductor align at equilibrium. For instance, if Φm > Φs, the semiconductor Fermi level is higher than the metal's before contact. The...
