… c, Re-crystallized fraction of the 400-nm-radius RESET mark (created with a 40 ns, 32 mW
laser pre-pulse) as a function of time for GST (100 ns, 9.5 mW pump pulses; black); IPCM (100 …

This paper is a clear description of an investigation designed to give precise, numerical
expression to the infectiousness of a disease, ie, the ability of a disease to spread in a community…

Hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) are a special class of metamaterials that exhibit a hyperbolic
dispersion relation. Hyperbolic dispersion is rarely observed in natural materials as it …

We report a broadband polarization-independent perfect absorber with wide-angle near unity
absorbance in the visible regime. Our structure is composed of an array of thin Au squares …

The ultrafast, reversible, nonvolatile and multistimuli responsive phase change of Ge-Sb-Te
(GST) alloy makes it an interesting “smart” material. The optical features of GST undergo …

The limit to which the phase change memory material Ge 2 Sb 2 Te 5 can be scaled toward
the smallest possible memory cell is investigated using structural and optical methodologies. …

Light strongly interacts with structures that are of a similar scale to its wavelength, typically
nanoscale features for light in the visible spectrum. However, the optical response of these …

… The laser pulse time and power for crystallization and re-amorphization of the GST film are
strongly dependent on the composition, thickness, and the thermal properties of surrounding …

The extreme electro-optical contrast between crystalline and amorphous states in phase-change
materials is routinely exploited in optical data storage 1 and future applications include …

An effective method to deposit atomically smooth ultrathin silver (Ag) films by employing a 1
nm copper (Cu) seed layer is reported. The inclusion of the Cu seed layer leads to the …
