摘要: Amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5 (a-GST) films were deposited by ion beam sputtering deposition. Extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) data confirmed the existence of Ge–Ge homopolar bonds in films. Raman spectra also indicated that Ge tetrahedral coordination a-GST film disappeared after an annealing treatment above 220 °C. Resonantly excited Ge L2,3 emission (which probe occupied Ge 3d4s-electronic states) show phase change from amorphous to crystalline state is accompanied a reduction Ge I(L2)/I(L3) intensity ratio due L2L3N Coster–Kronig transition, indicating number carriers increased Ge 4sp valence state. These findings constitute direct evidence for contribution electronic states resistivity change.
