The rapid increase in information in the big-data era calls for changes to information-
processing paradigms, which, in turn, demand new circuit-building blocks to overcome the …

The global demand for data storage and processing has increased exponentially in recent
decades. To respond to this demand, research efforts have been devoted to the …

Optical phase change materials (O-PCMs), a unique group of materials featuring
exceptional optical property contrast upon a solid-state phase transition, have found …

The issue of stress in thin films and functional coatings is a persistent problem in materials
science and technology that has congregated many efforts, both from experimental and …

Active metasurfaces, whose optical properties can be modulated post-fabrication, have
emerged as an intensively explored field in recent years. The efforts to date, however, still …

A unified picture of different application areas for incipient metals is presented. This
unconventional material class includes several main‐group chalcogenides, such as GeTe …

Neuromorphic computing holds promise for building next‐generation intelligent systems in a
more energy‐efficient way than the conventional von Neumann computing architecture …

In this paper, recent progress of phase change memory (PCM) is reviewed. The electrical
and thermal properties of phase change materials are surveyed with a focus on the …

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 change materials (PCMs) can exist in at least two different phases (an amorphous
and one or more crystalline phases), and they can be switched repeatedly between these …
