abstract = {Materials with insulator-metal transitions promise advanced
functionalities for future information technology.
Patterning on the microscale is key for miniaturized
functional devices, but material properties may vary
spatially across microstructures. Characterization of these
miniaturized devices requires electronic structure probes
with sufficient spatial resolution to understand the
influence of structure size and shape on functional
properties. The present study demonstrates the use of
imaging soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy with a spatial
resolution better than 2 μm to study the insulator-metal
transition in vanadium dioxide thin-film microstructures.
This novel technique reveals that the transition temperature
for the conversion from insulating to metallic vanadium
dioxide is lowered by 1.2 K ± 0.4 K close to the structure
edges compared to the center. Facilitated strain release
during the phase transition is discussed as origin of the
observed behavior. The experimental approach enables a
detailed understanding of how the electronic properties of
quantum materials depend on their patterning at the
micrometer scale.},
