abstract = {Controlling a state of material between its crystalline and
glassy phase has fostered many real-world applications.
Nevertheless, design rules for crystallization and
vitrification kinetics still lack predictive power. Here, we
identify stoichiometry trends for these processes in phase
change materials, i.e. along the GeTe-GeSe, GeTe-SnTe, and
GeTe-Sb2Te3 pseudo-binary lines employing a pump-probe laser
setup and calorimetry. We discover a clear stoichiometry
dependence of crystallization speed along a line connecting
regions characterized by two fundamental bonding types,
metallic and covalent bonding. Increasing covalency slows
down crystallization by six orders of magnitude and promotes
vitrification. The stoichiometry dependence is correlated
with material properties, such as the optical properties of
the crystalline phase and a bond indicator, the number of
electrons shared between adjacent atoms. A quantum-chemical
map explains these trends and provides a blueprint to design
crystallization kinetics.},
