Sub-nanometre resolution of atomic motion during electronic excitation in phase-change materials
Kirill V. Mitrofanov, Paul Fons, Kotaro Makino +16
Phase-change materials based on Ge-Sb-Te alloys are widely used in industrial applications such as nonvolatile memories, but reaction pathways for crystalline-to-amorphous phase-ch…

Femtosecond structural transformation of phase-change materials far from equilibrium monitored by coherent phonons
Muneaki Hase, Paul Fons, Kirill Mitrofanov +2
Multi-component chalcogenides, such as quasi-binary GeTe-SbTe alloys, are widely used in optical data storage media in the form of rewritable optical discs. GeSb$…

Picosecond strain dynamics in GeSbTe monitored by time-resolved x-ray diffraction
Paul Fons, Peter Rodenbach, Kirill V. Mitrofanov +9
Coherent phonons (CP) generated by laser pulses on the femtosecond scale have been proposed as a means to achieve ultrafast, non-thermal switching in phase-change materials such as…
