This transition is accompanied by a drastic modulation of VO₂'s optical properties in the near- and far-infrared regions. Tungsten (W) has been successfully used as a dopant to lower the transition to room temperature. VO₂ is highly dependent on the synthesis method, as for each fabrication protocol, the optical properties differ. Therefore, the optical properties of VO₂ must be determined frequently.
