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

Chalcogenide phase change materials based on germanium-antimony-tellurides (GST-
PCMs) have shown outstanding properties in non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies due …

Control of thermal emission underpins fundamental science, as it is related to both heat and
infrared electromagnetic wave transport. However, realizing nonvolatile reconfigurable …

High thermoelectric figure of merit, zT, of∼ 1.85 at 725 K along with significant cyclable
temperature stability was achieved in Pb-free p-type Ge1–x Sb x Te samples through …

Phase change materials are materials that exist in at least two structurally distinct solid
phases, an amorphous and one (or more) crystalline phases. Many materials display phase …

Memristive cells based on different physical effects, that is, phase change, valence change,
and electrochemical processes, are discussed with respect to their potential to overcome the …

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 …

Phase‐change materials can rapidly and reversibly be switched between an amorphous
and a crystalline phase. Since both phases are characterized by very different optical and …

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is widely used to study the stability of amorphous
solids, characterizing the kinetics of crystallization close to the glass-transition temperature T …

Abstract Ge–Sb–Te materials are used in optical DVDs and non-volatile electronic
memories (phase-change random-access memory). In both, data storage is effected by fast …
