abstract = {Chalcogenide phase-change materials combine a remarkable
set of properties that makes them promising candidates for
future non-volatile memory applications. Binary data storage
exploits the high contrast in electrical and optical
properties between the covalent amorphous and metavalent
crystalline phase. Here the authors perform an analysis of
the liquid phase kinetics of the phase-change material
Ge3Sb6Te5, which is the key to ultrafast switching speeds.
By employing four experimental techniques, the viscosity is
measured over sixteen orders of magnitude despite its
propensity for fast crystallization. These measurements
reveal that the liquid undergoes a transition in
viscosity–temperature dependence associated with a
liquid–liquid phase transition. The system exhibits a
shallow viscosity change with temperature near the glass
transition which stabilizes the memory cells in the
amorphous state and which limits the severity of relaxation
processes. Meanwhile, when heated during the writing
process, the fragility increases to more than double,
causing the viscosity to drop rapidly enabling a nanosecond
crystallization speed. This change in
viscosity–temperature dependence is highly unusual among
glass forming liquids and is reminiscent of the behavior of
water. This viscosity transition is also key to the
technological success of phase-change materials for computer
memory applications.},
