abstract = {Doping is indispensable to tailor phase-change materials
(PCM) in optical and electronic data storage. Very few
experimental studies, however, have provided quantitative
information on the distribution of dopants on the
atomic-scale. Here, we present atom-resolved images of Ag
and In dopants in Sb2Te-based (AIST) PCM using electron
microscopy and atom-probe tomography. Combing these with DFT
calculations and chemical-bonding analysis, we unambiguously
determine the dopants’ role upon recrystallization.
Composition profiles corroborate the substitution of Sb by
In and Ag, and the segregation of excessive Ag into grain
boundaries. While In is bonded covalently to neighboring Te,
Ag binds ionically. Moreover, In doping accelerates the
crystallization and hence operation while Ag doping limits
the random diffusion of In atoms and enhances the thermal
stability of the amorphous phase.},
