abstract = {Phase change materials involve the rapid and reversible
transition between nanoscale amorphous (a-) and crystalline
(c-) spots in a polycrystalline film and play major roles in
the multimedia world, including nonvolatile computer memory.
The materials of choice are alloys of Ge, Sb, and Te, e.g.,
Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) in digital versatile disk-random access
memory. There has been much speculation about the structure
of a- GST, but no model has yet received general acceptance.
Here we optimize the structure by combining the results of
density-functional calculations with high-energy x-ray
diffraction data and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)
measurements of the electronic densities of states to
determine the structure. The structure agrees very well with
available experimental data, including the differences in
the XPS data between the amorphous and crystalline
structures.},
