Phase change materials (PCM) have been widely investigated for heat storage and transfer applications. Numerous numerical simulation approaches proposed modelling their behaviour predicting performance in thermal However, do not consider the kinetics of phase transition processes, compromising accuracy predictions. The is a kinetically driven process which both reaction rate progress depend on ...

Chalcogenide phase-change materials based random access memory (PCRAM) is one of the leading candidates for development non-volatile and neuro-inspired computing technologies. Recent work shows indium to be an important alloying element PCRAM, while a thorough understanding parent compound InTe, in particular, its amorphous phase, still lacking. In this work, we carry out ab initio simulations ...
