Abstract
A gas-phase synthesis of vanadium dioxide (VO2) is presented and morphological features of the crystals grown by this method are described. Using the proposed method, VO2 microcrystals having the shapes of continuous rods and plates, as well as rods with a longitudinal rectangular cavity, can be obtained. The possible mechanisms of growth are considered with allowance for the different crystal shapes and features of the synthesis.
