[14a-A407-8] [Young Scientist Presentation Award Speech] Optical and electrical switching induced by displacive transformation in MnTe films
Keywords:MnTe, phase change, memory
MnTe thin films show the drastic change in electrical and optical properties induced by the polymorph change between α and β phase. Recently, it has been found that very low enrgy and fast memory operation can be realized using the melting-free polymorphic change in the MnTe layer. In this study, we attempted to investigate the polymorphic change mechanism of MnTe thin films in memory devices.
