Abstract:	We prepared a stacked structure consisting of a quasi-free-standing functional oxide thin film and a ceramic piezoelectric disk and observed the effect of the piezoelectric disk deformation on the resistance of the thin film. Epitaxial V₂O₃ films were grown by a pulsed laser deposition method on muscovite mica substrates, peeled off using Scotch tapes, and transferred onto piezoelectric elements. In this V₂O₃/insulator/top electrode/piezoelectronic disk/bottom electrode structure, the resistance of the V₂O₃ film displayed a variation of 60% by sweeping the piezoelectronic disk bias. With support from x-ray diffraction measurements under an electric field, a huge gauge factor of 3 × 10³ in the V₂O₃ film was inferred. The sizeable resistance change in the V₂O₃ layer is ascribed to the piezo-actuated evolution of c/a ratios, which drives the material towards an insulating phase. A memory effect on the resistance, related to the hysteretic displacement of the piezoelectric material, is also presented.
