Abstract
The microwave radiation reflection coefficient of pure vanadium dioxide and its compositions with dielectrics exhibits a jumplike change upon a sample transition from dielectric into metallic state. The reflection coefficient may either increase or decrease, the sign and magnitude of the effect depending on the electromagnetic field frequency and the sample thickness. The phenomenon is explained by changes in the wave interference conditions upon the phase transition.
