🎉 Congratulations on the New Publication!

Congratulations to Rajkumar Shanajaoba Singh on his new publication, carried out under the supervision of Dr. Vinod E. Madhavan.

The research work titled “Tailoring thermal stability and crystallization behavior in GeTe through arsenic incorporation for electronic memories” has been published in Materials Science in Semiconductor Processing by Elsevier.

The work is co-authored by Mubaris N. K.

Highlights of the Article:

- Arsenic incorporation significantly enhances the thermal stability of GeTe, increasing the crystallization temperature from approximately 144 °C to 237 °C.
- The resistance contrast between the amorphous and crystalline states increases from the order of 10⁵ to 10⁶, offering potential for multilevel switching.
- XRD and TEM analyses confirm the formation and preservation of the rhombohedral GeTe crystalline structure with arsenic incorporation.
- Arsenic incorporation modifies the optical band gap and electronic properties of GeTe, demonstrating effective control over its structural and optical characteristics.
- The devices demonstrate threshold switching at μA-level currents, with threshold current ranging from 15.0 ± 1.7 μA to 31.8 ± 6.2 μA and threshold voltage from 1.04 ± 0.26 V to 2.54 ± 0.26 V.

The study demonstrates that controlled arsenic incorporation can effectively tune the structural, optical, thermal, and electrical properties of GeTe-based phase-change materials.

A significant contribution towards the development of thermally stable and tunable GeTe-based phase-change materials for non-volatile memory and neuromorphic computing applications.
