Enhanced amorphous stability of carbon-doped Ge2Sb2Te5: Ab Initio investigation
The effects of carbon doping on structural and electronic properties of amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5 are studied by using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. In comparison with Si, N, and O dopants, C dopants are found to fundamentally alter the local order of amorphous network by increasing the population of tetrahedral Ge atoms significantly. In addition, the density of ABAB-type squared rings i...
متن کاملDirect ab-initio molecular dynamic study of ultrafast phase change in Ag-alloyed Ge2Sb2Te5
We employed ab-initio molecular dynamics to directly simulate the effects of Ag alloying (less than 5% Ag concentration) on the phase change properties of Ge2Sb2Te5. The short range order is preserved, whereas a slight improvement in the chemical order is observed. A slight decrease in the fraction of tetrahedral Ge (sp bonding) is reflected in the reduction of the optical band gap and in the i...
متن کاملAb initio simulation of first-order amorphous-to-amorphous phase transition of silicon
The pressure-induced phase transition in amorphous silicon ~a-Si! is studied using ab initio constantpressure molecular-dynamic simulations. Crystalline silicon ~c-Si! shows a phase transformation from diamond-to-simple hexagonal at 29.5 GPa, whereas a-Si presents an irreversible sharp transition to an amorphous metallic phase at 16.25 GPa. The transition pressure of a-Si is also calculated fro...
متن کاملPressure-induced structural phase transition of paracrystalline silicon
We report on the pressure-induced phase transition in a model of paracrystalline silicon ~amorphous silicon with a crystalline grain! using an ab initio constant pressure simulation technique. The paracrystalline model transforms into a high-density amorphous phase at 16 GPa with a discontinuous volume change of ;24%. The transformation of the crystalline grain begins at the boundary and procee...
متن کاملStructural fingerprints of electronic change in the phase-change-material: Ge2Sb2Te5
In this paper, we generate a-Ge2Sb2Te5 models via ab initio molecular dynamic simulations, track the dynamic changes of network at 500 K, and correlate the structural changes in the course of the simulation with changes in electronic structure. Considerable fluctuations of the electronic gap are observed even for a model in equilibrium. We compare our study to experiments and other simulations....
