The evaluators present in this publication spectroscopic data and level schemes from radioactive decay and nuclear reactions studies for all isobars with mass number A = 66. The first level- scheme of {sup 66}As, from (HI,xn{gamma}), has been included in this evaluation.
Highlights: • Vanadium oxide nanocrystals is synthesized via an improved solvothermal method. • Vanadium oxide nanocrystals possess a structure of distorted paramontroseite VO{sub 2}(P). • Thermally annealed nanocrystal thin films exhibit good thermochromic properties. - Abstract: We report on the synthesis and characterization of highly monodisperse organically functionalized vanadium oxide (VO{sub x}) nanocrystals with a size of 7–10 nm. We show that how these nanocrystals can be prepared by an improved solvothermal reaction and confirm their composition and structure through various materials characterization techniques. Our results revealed that VO{sub x} nanocrystals have a crystalline structure almost identical to that of paramontroseite VO{sub 2}(P) and the majority of vanadium is in oxidation state of V(IV). VO{sub x} nanocrystal films can be readily prepared via a spin coating technique. Once thermally annealed at ∼350 °C under an air/N{sub 2} flow, the films exhibited good thermochromic properties (luminous transmittance (T{sub lum}) ≈49–66%, infrared switching efficiency (ΔT{sub 2000nm}) ≈28–43%, and solar modulating ability (ΔT{sub sol}) ≈7.4–10.7%), corresponding to a phase transition between monoclinic VO{sub 2}(M) and rutile VO{sub 2}(R).
