摘要: Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) film in the crystalline state was nitrogen doped using reactive sputtering method order to increase sheet resistance. High-resolution x-ray absorption spectroscopy revealed that molecular (N2) existed N-doped GST film. This finding implies both and atomic-state should be taken into account understanding structures of The is believed exist at interstitial vacancy sites, more likely grain boundaries.
