Abstract

Arrhenius Crystallization of Ge2Sb2Te5 In article number 2200429, Jie Zhao, Jian Hui, Leslie H. Allen, and co-workers investigate the crystallization of 10–40 nm thick Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) via nanocalorimetry with a heating rate up to 1,000,000 K/s. GST shows Arrhenius kinetics and crystallization growth rate (CGV) consistent with that of actual phase-change memory (PCM) cells. This addresses a 10-year-debate originated from the unexpected non-Arrhenius kinetics uncovered by commercialized chip-based calorimetry with CGV 103–105 higher than that of PCM devices.
