Interdependent-Network Criticality without a Second Network: Cascading Collapse of the Joule-Coupled Insulator-Metal Transition in $V{O}_2$

Ouriel Gotesdyner, Michal Wasserman, Hodaya Kaster +5

When driven by a large enough electric field or current, the insulating state of vanadium dioxide ($V{O}_2$) typically collapses abruptly into the metallic state (the insulator-metal…
