Phase change materials and their application to nonvolatile memories
S Raoux, W Wełnic, D Ielmini - Chemical reviews, 2010 - ACS Publications
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 …

The interplay between Peierls distortions and metavalent bonding in IV–VI compounds: comparing GeTe with related monochalcogenides
In this article, we revisit bonding in crystalline GeTe, a simple binary alloy that is also a
popular phase change material, and use an ab initio approach that goes beyond the usual …
