32. Given the x-ray wavelength (1.54Å) and diffraction angle (13.9°) reported (22), the Bragg peak (22) should be indexed as (011) of the monoclinic phase. It was assigned as (110) of the monoclinic phase, which in fact becomes (110) of the rutile phase upon transformation.

36. 2/(V·s) for metallic vanadium dioxide (20). The diffusion of such electrons into the deeper regions may contribute to generation of shear.
37. Shear motion leads to a change in principal axes (34). Because not all Bragg spots are equally well in phase with the Ewald sphere at the same time (28), shear motion may enhance or suppress the Bragg intensities to values above or below the initial intensity, as observed.
38. 3 (21), which contains four vanadium atoms, this energy density gives ∼0.05 photon per vanadium.
