Bipolar switching in chalcogenide phase change memory
Phase change materials based on chalcogenides are key enabling technologies for optical storage, such as rewritable CD and DVD, and recently also electrical nonvolatile memory, named phase change memory (PCM). In a PCM, the amorphous or crystalline phase affects the material band structure, hence the device resistance. Although phase transformation is extremely fast and repeatable, the amorphou...
متن کاملMinimum voltage for threshold switching in nanoscale phase-change memory.
The size scaling of the threshold voltage required for the amorphous-to-crystalline transition in phase-change memory (PCM) is investigated using planar devices incorporating individual GeTe and Sb2Te3 nanowires. We show that the scaling law governing threshold switching changes from constant field to constant voltage scaling as the amorphous domain length falls below 10 nm. This crossover is a...
متن کاملVoid formation induced electrical switching in phase-change nanowires.
Solid-state structural transformation coupled with an electronic property change is an important mechanism for nonvolatile information storage technologies, such as phase-change memories. Here we exploit phase-change GeTe single-nanowire devices combined with ex situ and in situ transmission electron microscopy to correlate directly nanoscale structural transformations with electrical switching...
متن کاملSpin-current probe for phase transition in an insulator
Spin fluctuation and transition have always been one of the central topics of magnetism and condensed matter science. Experimentally, the spin fluctuation is found transcribed onto scattering intensity in the neutron-scattering process, which is represented by dynamical magnetic susceptibility and maximized at phase transitions. Importantly, a neutron carries spin without electric charge, and t...
