addition to the MIT, VO2 has also been shown to possess high temperature superconductivity and colossal magnetoresistance[2]. Thin films made of VO2 have been made into novel electronic devices including waveguides, thermochromic windows, ultra-fast optical switches, photonic crystals, and bolometers. The large diversity of physical and chemical properties that they can thus possess make them technologically important and a rich ground for basic research. We will review this and other properties of
