Title Chalcogenides : Metastability and Phase Change Phenomena Author(s) Kolobov, Alexander V;Tominaga, Junji Publication Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2012. Description XVI, 284 p : online resource Abstract Note A state-of-the-art description of metastability observed in chalcogenide alloys is presented with the accent on the underlying physics. A comparison is made between sulphur(selenium)-based chalcogenide glasses, where numerous photo-induced phenomena take place entirely within the amorphous phase, and tellurides where a reversible crystal-to-amorphous phase-change transformation is a major effect. Applications of metastability in devices??optical memories and nonvolatile electronic phase-change random-access memories among others are discussed, including the latest trends.
