Chalcogenide phase-change materials (PCMs), such as Ge-Sb-Te alloys, have shown
outstanding properties, which has led to their successful use for a long time in optical …

Phase transitions can occur in certain materials such as transition metal oxides (TMOs) and
chalcogenides when there is a change in external conditions such as temperature and …

Monatomic Sb thin films can eliminate the risks of compositional partitioning, but it normally
crystallizes instantly and fails to maintain amorphous state at room temperature. Here, we …

Phase-change memory (PCM), a non-volatile memory technology, is considered the most
promising candidate for storage class memory and neuro-inspired devices. It is generally …

Phase change materials (PCMs) have been attracting increasing interest in computer
bionics and artificial intelligence neuron systems. However, the influence of interface …

A multilevel phase-change memory device was successfully designed, which was fabricated
using a Ge40Te60/Cr superlattice-like (SLL) structure. In the SLL films, a two-step phase …

We provide an overview of the field of rigidity theory applied at the atomic scale. This
theoretical approach, initially designed for macroscopic structures such as bridges or …

There is an increasing demand for high-density memories with high stability for
supercomputers in this big data era. Traditional dynamic random access memory cannot …

Using thermal co-evaporation techniques, we show that various glassy compositions can be
obtained along the Ge x Sb x Te 100-2x join in the ternary Ge–Sb–Te system which is …

Structural models of the prototypal phase change material Ge-Sb-Te are generated from first-
principles molecular dynamics simulations with a particular attention to the Ge x Sb x Te …
