abstract = {Phase-change materials (PCMs) are already commercialized in
optical and non-volatile memory devices. Yet, the dynamics
of atomic rearrangement processes and their temperature
dependence, which govern their ultrafast switching, are
still not fully understood. Here we use quasi-elastic
neutron scattering to investigate the liquid-state dynamics
of four prevailing PCMs Ge2Sb2Te5, GeTe,
Ag4In3Sb67Te26(AIST), and Ge15Sb85 above their respective
melting points Tm. Self-diffusion coefficients and
structural relaxation times on the timescale of picoseconds
are extracted from dynamic structure factors. The results
indicate an unusual systematic violation of the
Stokes-Einstein relation (SER) for each PCM in
high-temperature regions above Tm, where the atomic-mobility
is high. This is likely related to the formation of locally
favored structures in liquid PCMs. Absolute values of
diffusivity in the supercooled liquid AIST are derived from
crystal-growth velocity, which are almost one order of
magnitude higher than that expected from the SER in the
technologically relevant temperature range $~20\%$ below Tm.
This is relevant to understand the crystallization kinetics
of PCMs as crystal growth is controlled by diffusivity.
Furthermore, the instantaneous shear modulus is determined
ranging from 2 to 3 GPa for liquid PCMs, which permits
extracting viscosity from microscopic structural relaxations
usually accessible to simulations and scattering
techniques.},
