Magnetic-field-induced insulator-metal transition in W-doped VO₂ at 500 T

Y. H. Matsuda, D. Nakamura, et al.

This groundbreaking research explores the metal-insulator transition in tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide, revealing how an ultrahigh magnetic field can induce a metallic state in the insulating phase. Conducted by Yasuhiro H. Matsuda and colleagues, this study challenges conventional understandings by suggesting that structural instability drives the transition more than electron correlation.
