Chapter 10, Problem 10.14P

Vanadium oxides are of interest for various sensor applications, owing to the sharp metal–insulator transitions they undergo as a function of temperature, pressure, or stress. Vanadium triisopropoxide (VTIPO) was used to grow vanadium oxide films by chemical vapor deposition [J. Electrochem. Soc., 136, 897 (1989)]. The deposition rate as a function of VTIPO pressure for two different temperatures follows.

T = 120°C:

T = 200°C:
