Ultrasensitive Mechanical Sensor Using Tunable Ordered Array of Metallic and Insulating States in Vanadium Dioxide

Detecting tiny deformations or vibrations,particularly those associated with strains below 1%,is essential in various technological applications.Traditional intrinsic materials,including metals and semiconductors,face challenges in simultaneously achieving initial metallic state and strain-induced insulating state,hindering the development of highly sensitive mechanical sensors.Here we report an ultrasensitive mechanical sensor based on a strain-induced tunable ordered array of metallic and insulating states in the single-crystal bronze-phase vanadium dioxide[VO2(B)]quantum material.It is shown that the initial metallic state in the VO2(B)flake can be tuned to the insulating state by applying a weak uniaxial tensile strain.Such a unique property gives rise to a record-high gauge factor of above 607970,surpassing previous values by an order of magnitude,with excellent linearity and mechanical resilience as well as durability.As a proof-of-concept application,we use our proposed mechanical sensor to demonstrate precise sensing of the micro piece,gentle airflows and water droplets.We attribute the superior performance of the sensor to the strain-induced continuous metal-insulator transition in the single-crystal VO2(B)flake,evidenced by experimental and simulation results.Our findings highlight the potential of exploiting correlated quantum materials for next-generation ultrasensitive flexible mechanical sensors,addressing critical limitations in traditional materials.
