abstract={Vanadium dioxide thin film nanostructures were synthesized by pulsed laser deposition on soda lime glass at a substrate temperature of 600ˇăC and an oxygen ambient pressure of 15 mTorr. The effect of cooling pressure on the crystalline orientation of VO<SUB>2</SUB> nanostructures was investigated. As the cooling oxygen pressure is increased, the VO<SUB>2</SUB> nanostructures exhibit sharp a-axis diffraction peaks, showing the growth of (1 0 0) oriented VO<SUB>2</SUB> on glass, which is characteristic of the VO<SUB>2</SUB> monoclinic phase and implies that pure highly a-axis textured VO<SUB>2</SUB> was formed. We found that the growth mechanism and substrate¨Cfilm interaction play important roles in the development of these well-textured films via the formation of an interlayer of SiO<SUB>2</SUB>.},
