In this article, we review the prototypical phase-transition material-VO2, which undergoes structure and conductivity changes simultaneously. The recent progresses in the transition mechanism are also discussed. Besides, this work gives a comprehensive understanding of the phase-transition modulations, such as element doping, electric field (current and gating) and tensile/compression strain, as well as employing laser.
