Abstract
Provided is a vanadium oxide film which shows substantially no hysteresis of resistivity changes due to temperature rising/falling, has a low resistivity at room temperature, has a large absolute value of the temperature coefficient of resistance, and shows semiconductor-like resistance changes in a wide temperature range. In the vanadium oxide film, a portion of the vanadium has been replaced by aluminum and copper, and the amount of substance of aluminum is 10 mol % based on the sum total of the amount of substance of vanadium, the amount of substance of aluminum, and the amount of substance of copper. This vanadium oxide film has a low resistivity, has a large absolute value of the temperature coefficient of resistance, and shows substantially no hysteresis of resistivity changes due to temperature rising/falling. This vanadium oxide film is produced by applying a mixture solution containing a vanadium organic compound, an aluminum organic compound, and a copper organic compound to a substrate, calcining the substrate at a temperature lower than the temperature at which the substrate decomposes, and irradiating the surface of the substrate onto which the mixture solution has been applied with ultraviolet light.
