摘要: Abstract In this paper, the influence of Sn doping (0%, 8% and 14%) on crystallization Ge2Sb2Te5 was studied with aid an ultraviolet laser. The XRD analyses revealed that addition maintained NaCl-type structure after but expanded lattice parameter due to smaller atomic radii Ge replaced by Sn. Raman peaks (123, 150 110 cm−1) moved towards lower wavenumbers (118, 137 104 cm−1), which can be explained remarkable decrease binding energy from Ge–Te Sn–Te. A increase in optical contrast 15% 40% observed Sn-doped film both isothermal annealing laser radiance. While changed little for a fixed volume fraction sample variation fluence is attributed mechanism induced under different fluences same.
