Pure and doped vanadium sesquioxide: A brief experimental review

Vanadium sesquioxide (V{sub 2}O{sub 3}) undergoes a number of phase transitions as a function of temperature and doping. These phase transformations have been studied extensively using numerous experimental techniques. In this article, the author attempts to briefly review the experimental data on the pure and doped V{sub 2}O{sub 3} system.
