Vanadium dioxide (VO2) transforms from purely monoclinic to purely tetragonal when heated from 58°C to 72°C, and the transformation is reversible but hysteretic. Electromagnetically, VO2 transforms from a dissipative dielectric to another dissipative dielectric if the free-space wavelength is λ01100nm. Calculating the extinction, total scattering, absorption, radiation pressure, backscattering and forward-scattering efficiencies of a VO2 sphere, we found clear signatures of thermal hysteresis in (i) the forward-scattering, backscattering, and absorption efficiencies for λ01100nm. Vacuum and null-permittivity quasistates occur between 58°C and 72°C, when tetragonal VO2 is a plasmonic metal, once each on the heating branch and once each on the cooling branch of thermal hysteresis. But none of the six efficiencies show significant differences between the two quasistates.
