Phase‐Change Memory Materials by Design: A Strain Engineering Approach

Van der Waals heterostructure superlattices of Sb2Te1 and GeTe are strain-engineered to promote switchable atomic disordering, which is confined to the GeTe layer. Careful control of the strain in the structures presents a new degree of freedom to design the properties of functional superlattice structures for data storage and photonics applications.
