abstract = {The amorphous structure of Ge8Sb2Te11, an alloy used in the
Blu-ray Disc, the de facto successor to digital versatile
disk (DVD) optical storage, has been characterized by
large-scale (630 atoms, 0.4 ns)
density-functional/molecular-dynamics simulations using the
new PBEsol approximation for the exchange-correlation energy
functional. The geometry and electronic structure agree well
with available x-ray diffraction data and photoelectron
measurements. The total coordination numbers are Ge: 4.0,
Sb: 3.7, and Te: 2.9, and the Ge-Ge partial coordination
number is 0.7. Most atoms (particularly Sb) prefer
octahedral coordination but $42\%$ of Ge atoms are
"tetrahedral." Structural details, including ring
statistics, local coordination, and cavities $(12\%$ of
total volume), are strikingly similar to those of Ge2Sb2Te5,
which is used in DVD-random access memory. The presence of
less than $10\%$ Sb atoms leads to significant changes from
GeTe.},
