• Phase Change Materials (2009, background): “Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements (24) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations (25) have shown that the rocksalt structure is rather distorted and that the vacancies play an important role in lowering the ground-state electronic energy (25, 26).”
• Phase change memory technology (2010, background): “While the crystalline form is thermodynamically favorable, its kinetics are much slower than the formation of the high resistance state[92], by typically at least one order of magnitude.”
