Section (e) of Fig. 1 on page 1606 is wrong. The correct Fig. 1 is shown below.



Fig. 1 (a) TEM images of the VO2 nanoparticles, (b and c) the silica-coated VO2 particles after functionalisation with PVP, (d) an EDS spectrum of spot A and spot B pointed out in the image (c), (e) XRD patterns of uncoated VO2 and VO2@SiO2 and (f) dependence of silica thickness on reaction time/TEOS volume.
