abstract = {Unconventionally high amount of atomic vacancies up to more
than $10\%$ are known to form in Ge-Sb-Te crystals upon
rapid crystallization from the amorphous phase. Upon thermal
annealing, an ordering process of these atomic vacancies is
observed, triggering a structural transition from the
recrystallized rocksalt structure to a stable layered
trigonal structure and a transition from insulator to metal.
In this work, we demonstrate an opposite vacancy disordering
process upon extensive electron beam irradiation, which is
accompanied by the reverse transition from the stable
trigonal phase to the metastable cubic phase. The combined
in situ transmission electron microscopy experiments and
density functional theory nudged elastic band calculations
reveal three transition stages, including (I) the vacancy
diffusion in the trigonal phase, (II) the change in atomic
stacking, and (III) the disappearance of vacancy-rich
planes. The mechanism of vacancy disordering is attributed
to kinetic knock-on collision effects of the high-energy
electron beam, which prevail over the heating effects.},
