Theoretical Model of Crystal Nucleation in PCM Nano-Glasses
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
We propose a theoretical analysis of crystal nucleation in disordered nano-glass structure of chalcogenide phase change memory. Statistical fluctuations of microscopic structure parameters translate into statistical distribution of nucleation times determining the transition from the highly resistive (glassy) to the low resistive (crystalline) state. This distribution is shown to be log-normal with the peak time exponentially dependent on field strength, temperature, cell area and material parameters.
