Medium-range structural order in amorphous arsenic
Yuanbin Liu, Yuxing Zhou, Richard Ademuwagun +4
Medium-range order (MRO) is a key structural feature of amorphous materials, but its origin and nature remain elusive. Here, we reveal the MRO in amorphous arsenic (a-As) using adv…
Full-cycle device-scale simulations of memory materials with a tailored atomic-cluster-expansion potential
Yuxing Zhou, Daniel F. Thomas du Toit, Stephen R. Elliott +2
Computer simulations have long been key to understanding and designing phase-change materials (PCMs) for memory technologies. Machine learning is now increasingly being used to acc…
The pathway to chirality in elemental tellurium
Yuxing Zhou, Stephen R. Elliott, Daniel F. Thomas du Toit +2
Chiral crystals, like chiral molecules, cannot be superimposed onto their mirror images -- a fundamental property that has been linked to interesting physical behavior and exploite…
Homopolar Chemical Bonds Induce In-Plane Anisotropy in Layered Semiconductors
Jieling Tan, Jiang-Jing Wang, Hang-Ming Zhang +6
Main-group layered binary semiconductors, in particular, the III-VI alloys in the binary Ga-Te system are attracting increasing interest for a range of practical applications. The…
Structure and Bonding in Amorphous Red Phosphorus
Yuxing Zhou, Stephen R. Elliott, Volker L. Deringer
Amorphous red phosphorus (a-P) is one of the remaining puzzling cases in the structural chemistry of the elements. Here, we elucidate the structure, stability, and chemical bond-in…
Unlocking device-scale atomistic modelling of phase-change memory materials
Yuxing Zhou, Wei Zhang, En Ma +1
Quantum-accurate computer simulations play a central role in understanding phase-change materials (PCMs) for advanced memory technologies. However, direct quantum-mechanical simula…
Cluster Fragments in Amorphous Phosphorus and their Evolution under Pressure
Yuxing Zhou, William Kirkpatrick, Volker L. Deringer
Amorphous phosphorus (a-P) has long attracted interest because of its complex atomic structure, and more recently as an anode material for batteries. However, accurately describing…
Bonding nature and optical contrast of / phase-change heterostructure
Xudong Wang, Yue Wu, Yuxing Zhou +2
Chalcogenide phase-change materials (PCMs) are regarded as the leading candidate for storage-class non-volatile memory and neuro-inspired computing. Recently, using the /$S…
Unraveling the optical contrast in Sb2Te and AgInSbTe phase-change materials
Shehzad Ahmed, Xudong Wang, Yuxing Zhou +3
Chalcogenide phase-change materials (PCMs) show a significant contrast in optical reflectivity and electrical resistivity upon crystallization from the amorphous phase and are lead…
