Nanoscale phase transformation in Ge2Sb2Te5 using encapsulated scanning probes and retraction force microscopy.
Encapsulated conducting probes that can sustain high currents are used to study the nanoscale properties of thin-film stacks comprising of a phase-change chalcogenide, Ge(2)Sb(2)Te(5). Scaling studies on this promising candidate for random-access memory devices had thus far required extensive lithog...
