Inverting polar domains via electrical pulsing in metallic germanium telluride
Germanium telluride (GeTe) is both polar and metallic, an unusual combination of properties in any material system. The large concentration of free-carriers in GeTe precludes the coupling of external electric field with internal polarization, rendering it ineffective for conventional ferroelectric applications and polarization switching. Here we investigate alternate ways of coupling the polar ...
متن کاملHafnium germanium telluride
The title hafnium germanium telluride, HfGeTe(4), has been synthesized by the use of a halide flux and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. HfGeTe(4) is isostructural with stoichiometric ZrGeTe(4) and the Hf site in this compound is also fully occupied. The crystal structure of HfGeTe(4) adopts a two-dimensional layered structure, each layer being composed of two unique one-dimensio...
متن کاملElectrical switching in germanium telluride glasses doped with Cu and Ag
Electrical switching in germanium telluride glasses containing metallic atoms (Cu and Ag) has been investigated. All these glasses are found to exhibit memory switching. The switching fields of these glasses are compared with the thermal parameters evaluated from DSC studies and the results are explained on the basis of the thermal model. The composition dependence of the switching field and th...
متن کاملShaping metallic glasses by electromagnetic pulsing
With damage tolerance rivalling advanced engineering alloys and thermoplastic forming capabilities analogous to conventional plastics, metallic glasses are emerging as a modern engineering material. Here, we take advantage of their unique electrical and rheological properties along with the classic Lorentz force concept to demonstrate that electromagnetic coupling of electric current and a magn...
متن کاملGermanium telluride nanowires and nanohelices with memory-switching behavior.
We report the synthesis of single-crystalline GeTe nanowires (NWs) and nanohelices (NHs) using a vapor transport method assisted by metal catalysts. The NWs have typical diameters of 65 +/- 20 nm and lengths reaching up to 50 mum, while NHs have an average helix diameter of 135 +/- 30 nm, with widely varying pitches. Electron microscopy and diffraction measurements show that these NWs and NHs a...
