Abstract

Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) is technologically important for phase-change random access memory applications. It has been shown that the 2.2 atomic % doping of Sn weakens the Ge–Te bond strength while maintaining the symmetry of stable phase of GST. The influence of Sn doping upon the phase change characteristics of the crystalline GST alloy has been investigated by ab initio calculations. The lattice parameter, average interface distances between two adjacent (111) layers, equilibrium volume, metallic character and electrical resistance has been calculated for the stable phase of GST and Sn-doped GST.
