Finding different materials to keep electronic devices evolving is a matter of scientists. A thermal electronic logic circuit (TELC) is one of the most prominent alternatives that has been proposed recently. Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is an essential material that has been utilised in TELC due to its thermal and electrical properties. VO2 transits its electrical property from the semiconductor phase into the metal phase at around 67oC. In this paper, two numerical methods were used to determine the electrical and thermal characteristics of VO2, and measured data compared the results. The phase-change material behaviour was modelled by two different softwares using different simulation methods, finite volume method FVM and finite element method FEM. The sample preparation and the thermal and electrical measurements were carried out in our cleanroom.}, year = {2021}, pages = {178-181}, orcid-numbers = {Pohl, László/0000-0003-2390-1381; Mizsei, János/0000-0003-3411-1502; Neumann, Péter Lajos/0000-0002-2881-5733} } @article{MTMT:31369246, title = {Electro-Thermal Simulation of Vertical VO2 Thermal-Electronic Circuit Elements}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31369246}, author = {Darwish, Mahmoud Ibrahim Azmi and Neumann, Péter Lajos and Mizsei, János and Pohl, László}, doi = {10.3390/en13133447}, journal-iso = {ENERGIES}, journal = {ENERGIES}, volume = {13}, unique-id = {31369246}, issn = {1996-1073}, abstract = {Advancement of classical silicon-based circuit technology is approaching maturity and saturation. The worldwide research is now focusing wide range of potential technologies for the “More than Moore” era.

In thermal-electronic circuits, information flows in a combination of thermal and electronic signals. Design of these circuits will be possible once appropriate device models become available. Characteristics of vanadium dioxide are under research by preparing structures in laboratory and their validation by simulation models. Modeling and simulation of these devices is challenging due to several nonlinearities, discussed in this article. Introduction of custom finite volumes method simulator has however improved handling of special properties of vanadium dioxide.
