Abstract
Halogen engineering offers a means of enhancing the physical properties of materials by fine-tuning the rotational energy barrier and dipole moment, which proved to be effective in achieving switchable phase transitions and optical responses in materials. In this work, by substituting the methyl group in ligand N-ethyl-1,5-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane (CH3CH2-3.3.0-Dabco) with halogen atoms X (Cl or Br) and then contining to react it with FeBr3 in a HBr aqueous solution, we successfully synthesized three kinds of organic-inorganic hybrid switchable phase-change materials, [CH3CH2-3.3.0-Dabco]FeBr4 (1), [ClCH2-3.3.0-Dabco]FeBr4 (2), and [BrCH2-3.3.0-Dabco]FeBr4 (3), which were fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and variable-temperature powder X-ray diffraction. Compared to compound 1, compounds 2 and 3 show two pairs of reversible phase transitions, dielectric anomalies, and a second-harmonic-generation effect, which are successfully induced due to the halogen substitution. This study offers an effective molecular design strategy for the exploration and construction of iron halide organic-inorganic hybrid materials with temperature-adjustable physical properties.

Abstract
We report two previously undiscovered phases of GeTe including the sphalerite (c-) phase and the hexagonal (h-) phase with interlayer van der Waals gaps. A polymorphic phase transformation from rhombohedral α-GeTe to c- and h-GeTe at near room temperature is first realized via electron beam irradiation. Their underlying thermodynamics and kinetics are illustrated using the in situ heating experiments and molecular dynamics simulations. Density-functional theory calculations indicate that c-GeTe exhibits typical metallic behavior and h-GeTe is a narrow-gap semiconductor with a strong spin-orbital coupling effect. Our findings shed light on a strategy for designing GeTe-based quantum devices compromising nanopillars and heterostructures via an atomic-scale electron beam lithography technique.

Abstract
Phase-change memory (PCM) is an emerging memory technology based on the resistance contrast between the crystalline and amorphous states of a material. Further development and realization of PCM as a mainstream memory technology rely on innovative materials and inexpensive fabrication methods. Here, we propose a generalizable and scalable solution-processing approach to synthesize phase-change telluride inks in order to meet demands for high-throughput material screening, increased energy efficiency, and advanced device architectures. Bulk tellurides, such as Sb2Te3, GeTe, Sc2Te3, and TiTe2, are dissolved and purified to obtain inks of molecular metal telluride complexes. This allowed us to unlock a wide range of solution-processed ternary tellurides by the simple mixing of binary inks. We demonstrate accurate and quantitative composition control, including prototype materials (Ge-Sb-Te) and emerging rare-earth-metal telluride-doped materials (Sc-Sb-Te). Spin-coating and annealing convert ink formulations into high-quality, phase-pure telluride films with preferred orientation along the (00l) direction. Deposition engineering of liquid tellurides enables thickness-tunable films, infilling of nanoscale vias, and film preparation on flexible substrates. Finally, we demonstrate cyclable and non-volatile prototype memory devices, achieving performance indicators such as resistance contrast and low reset energy on par with state-of-the-art sputtered PCM layers.

Abstract
Chiral metasurfaces with tunable or switchable circular dichroism (CD) responses hold great potential for advanced optical devices. In this work, we theoretically propose and numerically demonstrate a chiral metasurface absorber composed of periodically serrated Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) resonators. By harnessing strong plasmonic resonance using the gradient geometry, we achieve a strongly enhanced chiral response with a CD value of 0.98 at λ2 = 2359 nm and a CD value of 0.7 at λ1 = 2274 nm. Additionally, by controlling the gradient difference in the serrated GST resonator, we can modify the CD intensity in multiple dimensions and near-perfectly optimize the chiral properties. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the CD value can be strongly varied by adjusting the phase transition characteristics of GST in the range of 0.007 to 0.7 at λ1 and 0.002 to 0.98 at λ2, corresponding to a switch between "on" and "off" states. The findings give new insight into multi-functional chiroptics and hold wide applications.

Abstract
Phase-change materials, demonstrating a rapid switching between two distinct states with a sharp contrast in electrical, optical or magnetic properties, are vital for modern photonic and electronic devices. To date, this effect is observed in chalcogenide compounds based on Se, Te or both, and most recently in stoichiometric Sb2S3 composition. Yet, to achieve best integrability into modern photonics and electronics, the mixed S/Se/Te phase change medium is needed, which would allow a wide tuning range for such important physical properties as vitreous phase stability, radiation and photo-sensitivity, optical gap, electrical and thermal conductivity, non-linear optical effects, as well as the possibility of structural modification at nanoscale. In this work, a thermally-induced high-to-low resistivity switching below 200 °C is demonstrated in Sb-rich equichalcogenides (containing S, Se and Te in equal proportions). The nanoscale mechanism is associated with interchange between tetrahedral and octahedral coordination of Ge and Sb atoms, substitution of Te in the nearest Ge environment by S or Se, and Sb-Ge/Sb bonds formation upon further annealing. The material can be integrated into chalcogenide-based multifunctional platforms, neuromorphic computational systems, photonic devices and sensors.

Abstract
In order to meet the needs of social development, increasing research attention has been paid to multifunctional molecular-based phase-transition materials. The traditional phase-transition materials with a single functional property can be transformed into magnificent ones by adding additional functional properties-for instance photoluminescence and magnetic order- because having two or more functional properties simultaneously greatly broadens the fields of their applications. At present, there are very few multifunctional phase-transition materials showing excellent performance, and the crystal structure design and performance optimization of materials still need to be studied in depth. Herein, we report the development of two organic-inorganic hybrid materials: (MBA)2ZnI4 (1, MBA = 4-methoxybenzylammonium) with switchable dielectricity and a high phase-transition temperature (Tc = 359.55 K), and (MBA)2ZnBr4 (2) with green luminescence (λexc = 314 nm) and nonlinear optical properties (0.75× KDP). A two-dimensional (2D) fingerprint analysis of the Hirshfeld surface plots revealed a significant difference between the hydrogen-bonding interaction before the phase transition and that afterwards. The two compounds were further verified, from energy band structure calculations, to be direct-band-gap semiconductors. In conclusion, this work has provided a viable strategy, involving the application of chemical modifications, for designing various functional materials.

Abstract
Reversible conversion over multimillion times in bond types between metavalent and covalent bonds becomes one of the most promising bases for universal memory. As the conversions have been found in metastable states, an extended category of crystal structures from stable states via redistribution of vacancies, research on kinetic behavior of the vacancies is highly in demand. However, it remains lacking due to difficulties with experimental analysis. Herein, the direct observation of the evolution of chemical states of vacancies clarifies the behavior by combining analysis on charge density distribution, electrical conductivity, and crystal structures. Site-switching of vacancies of Sb2Te3 gradually occurs with diverged energy barriers owing to their own activation code: the accumulation of vacancies triggers spontaneous gliding along atomic planes to relieve electrostatic repulsion. Studies on the behavior can be further applied to multiphase superlattices composed of Sb2Te3 (2D) and GeTe (3D) sublayers, which represent superior memory performances, but their operating mechanisms were still under debate due to their complexity. The site-switching is favorable (suppressed) when Te-Te bonds are formed as physisorption (chemisorption) over the interface between Sb2Te3 (2D) and GeTe (3D) sublayers driven by configurational entropic gain (electrostatic enthalpic loss). Depending on the type of interfaces between sublayers, phases of the superlattices are classified into metastable and stable states, where the conversion could only be achieved in the metastable state. From this comprehensive understanding on the operating mechanism via kinetic behaviors of vacancies and the metastability, further studies toward vacancy engineering are expected in versatile materials.

Abstract
There is an ever-increasing demand for next-generation devices that do not require passwords and are impervious to cloning. For traditional hardware security solutions in edge computing devices, inherent limitations are addressed by physical unclonable functions (PUF). However, realizing efficient roots of trust for resource constrained hardware remains extremely challenging, despite excellent demonstrations with conventional silicon circuits and archetypal oxide memristor-based crossbars. An attractive, down-scalable approach to design efficient cryptographic hardware is to harness memristive materials with a large-degree-of-randomness in materials state variations, but this strategy is still not well understood. Here, the utilization of high-degree-of-randomness amorphous (A) state variations associated with different operating conditions via thermal fluctuation effects is demonstrated, as well as an integrated framework for in memory computing and next generation security primitives, viz., APUF, for achieving secure key generation and device authentication. Near ideal uniformity and uniqueness without additional initial writing overheads in weak memristive A-PUF is achieved. In-memory computing empowers a strong exclusive OR (XOR-) and-repeat A PUF construction to avoid machine learning attacks, while rapid crystallization processes enable large-sized-key reconfigurability. These findings pave the way for achieving a broadly applicable security primitive for enhancing antipiracy of integrated systems and product authentication in supply chains.

Abstract
Nonadiabatic quantum molecular dynamics is used to investigate the evolution of GeTe photoexcited states. Results reveal a photoexcitation-induced picosecond nonthermal path for the loss of long-range order. A valence electron excitation threshold of 4% is found to trigger local disorder by switching Ge atoms from octahedral to tetrahedral sites and promoting Ge-Ge bonding. The resulting loss of long-range order for a higher valence electron excitation fraction is achieved without fulfilling the Lindemann criterion for melting, therefore utilizing a nonthermal path. The photoexcitation-induced structural disorder is accompanied by charge transfer from Te to Ge, Ge-Te bonding-to-antibonding, and Ge-Ge antibonding-to-bonding change, triggering Ge-Te bond breaking and promoting the formation of Ge-Ge wrong bonds. These results provide an electronic-structure basis to understand the photoexcitation-induced ultrafast changes in the structure and properties of GeTe and other phase-change materials.

Abstract
Actively controlling the polarization states of terahertz (THz) waves is essential for polarization-sensitive spectroscopy, which has various applications in anisotropy imaging, noncontact Hall measurement, and vibrational circular dichroism. In the THz regime, the lack of a polarization modulator hinders the development of this spectroscopy. We theoretically and experimentally demonstrate that conjugated bilayer chiral metamaterials (CMMs) integrated with Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST225) active components can achieve nonvolatile and continuously tunable optical activity in the THz region. A THz time-domain spectroscopic system was used to characterize the device, showing a tunable ellipticity (from ‒36° to 0°) and rotation of the plane polarization (from 32° to 0°) at approximately 0.73 THz by varying the GST225 state from amorphous (AM) to crystalline (CR). Moreover, a continuously tunable chiroptical response was experimentally observed by partially crystallizing the GST225, which can create intermediate states, having regions of both AM and CR states. Note that the GST225 has an advantage of nonvolatility over the other active elements and does not require any energy to retain its structural state. Our work allows the development of THz metadevices capable of actively manipulating the polarization of THz waves and may find applications for dynamically tunable THz circular polarizers and polarization modulators for THz emissions.

Abstract
Phase change chalcogenides such as Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) have recently enabled advanced optical devices for applications such as in-memory computing, reflective displays, tunable metasurfaces, and reconfigurable photonics. However, designing phase change optical devices with reliable and efficient electrical control is challenging due to the requirements of both high amorphization temperatures and extremely fast quenching rates for reversible switching. Here, we use a Multiphysics simulation framework to model three waveguide-integrated microheaters designed to switch optical phase change materials. We explore the effects of geometry, doping, and electrical pulse parameters to optimize the switching speed and minimize energy consumption in these optical devices.

Interface Formation during the Growth of Phase Change Material Heterostructures Based on Ge-Rich Ge-Sb-Te Alloys. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12061007. [PMID: 35335820 PMCID: PMC8949867 DOI: 10.3390/nano12061007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2022] [Revised: 03/10/2022] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
In this study, we present a full characterization of the electronic properties of phase change material (PCM) double-layered heterostructures deposited on silicon substrates. Thin films of amorphous Ge-rich Ge-Sb-Te (GGST) alloys were grown by physical vapor deposition on Sb2Te3 and on Ge2Sb2Te5 layers. The two heterostructures were characterized in situ by X-ray and ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopies (XPS and UPS) during the formation of the interface between the first and the second layer (top GGST film). The evolution of the composition across the heterostructure interface and information on interdiffusion were obtained. We found that, for both cases, the final composition of the GGST layer was close to Ge2SbTe2 (GST212), which is a thermodynamically favorable off-stoichiometry GeSbTe alloy in the Sb-GeTe pseudobinary of the ternary phase diagram. Density functional theory calculations allowed us to calculate the density of states for the valence band of the amorphous phase of GST212, which was in good agreement with the experimental valence bands measured in situ by UPS. The same heterostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction as a function of the annealing temperature. Differences in the crystallization process are discussed on the basis of the photoemission results.

Abstract
First principles calculations have been performed to study the characteristic properties of Se n Te n (n = 5-10) clusters. The present study reveals that the properties of these small clusters are consistent with the properties of Se-Te glassy systems. Several hundred equilibrium structures obtained from a genetic algorithm based USPEX code are relaxed to their minimum energy using the VASP code. Most of the lowest energy buckled ring-like structures are formed from Se-Te heteropolar bonds. Detailed structural analysis and distance energy plots unveil that many equilibrium structures are close in energy to their global minimum. The computed Raman and IR spectra show the dominance of Se-Te heteropolar bonds, consistent with earlier simulation and experimental findings in Se1-x Te x glass materials. Low frequency vibrational modes observed in small clusters are characteristic features of amorphous materials. Non-bonding orbitals (lone pair) are observed in the HOMO, whereas the LUMO is formed from purely antibonding orbitals. The dielectric functions corroborate the bonding mechanism and slightly polar nature of Se n Te n clusters. The energy loss and absorption coefficient indicate the presence of π-plasmons in the UV-visible region. Furthermore, it is ascertained that the use of a hybrid functional (B3LYP) does not affect the properties of small clusters appreciably, except causing a blue shift in the optical spectra. Hence, we find that the small clusters have bearing on the formation of glassy Se-Te systems.

Abstract
In recent years, the continuous development of magnetic nanostructures (MNSs) has tremendously promoted both fundamental scientific research and technological applications. Different from the bulk magnet, the systematic engineering on MNSs has brought a great breakthrough in some emerging fields such as the construction of MNSs, the magnetism exploration of multidimensional MNSs, and their potential translational applications. In this review, we give a detailed description of the synthetic strategies of MNSs based on the fundamental features and application potential of MNSs and discuss the recent progress of MNSs in the fields of nanomedicines, advanced nanobiotechnology, catalysis, and electromagnetic wave adsorption (EMWA), aiming to provide guidance for fabrication strategies of MNSs toward diverse applications.

Abstract
Phase change materials (PCMs) for the charge and discharge of thermal energy at a nearly constant temperature are of interest for thermal energy storage and management, and porous materials are usually used to support PCMs for preventing the liquid leakage and shape instability during the phase change process. Compared with commonly used polymer matrices and porous carbons, mineral materials with naturally occurring porous structures have obvious advantages such as cost-saving and abundant resources. Attapulgite (ATP) is a clay mineral with natural porous structures, which can be used to contain PCMs for thermal energy storage. However, the poor compatibility between ATP and PCMs is a significant defect that has rarely been studied. Herein, a facile one-step organic modification method of ATP was developed and the chlorosilane-modified ATP (Si-ATP) possesses great hydrophobic and lipophilic properties. Three types of ATP with different compatibility and pore volumes were used as the supports and paraffin as the energy storage units to fabricate a series of form-stable PCMs (FSPCMs). The results showed that the shape-stabilized ability of Si-ATP for paraffin was significantly enhanced, and the Si-ATP supported FSPCM yielded an optimal latent heat of 83.7 J g−1, which was 64.4% higher than that of the pristine ATP based composite. Meanwhile, the thermal energy storage densities of the resulting FSPCMs were gradually increased with an increase in the pore volumes of the three supporting materials. These results may provide a strategy for preparing porous materials as containers to realize the shape stabilization of PCMs and improve the thermal energy storage densities of the resulting FSPCMs. A facile organic modification method of attapulgite was developedand it's supporting capacity for organic PCMs was significantly enhanced.![]()

Abstract
The phase change memory (PCM) is one of the key enabling memory technologies for next-generation non-volatile memory device applications due to its high writing speed, excellent endurance, long retention time, and good scalability. However, the high power consumption of PCM devices caused by the high switching current from a high resistive state to a low resistive state is a critical obstacle to be resolved before widespread commercialization can be realized. Here, a useful approach to reduce the writing current of PCM, which depends strongly on the contact area between the heater electrode and active layer, by employing self-assembly process of Si-containing block copolymers (BCPs) is presented. Self-assembled insulative BCP pattern geometries can locally block the current path of the contact between a high resistive film (TiN) and a phase-change material (Ge2 Sb2 Te5 ), resulting in a significant reduction of the writing current. Compared to a conventional PCM cell, the BCP-modified PCM shows excellent switching power reduction up to 1/20 given its use of self-assembled hybrid SiFex Oy /SiOx dot-in-hole nanostructures. This BCP-based bottom-up process can be extended to various applications of other non-volatile memory devices, such as resistive switching memory and magnetic storage devices.

Abstract
The chemical bond is one of the most powerful, yet much debated concepts in chemistry, explaining property trends in solids. Recently, a novel type of chemical bonding was identified in several higher chalcogenides, characterized by a unique property portfolio, unconventional bond breaking, and sharing of about one electron between adjacent atoms. This metavalent bond is a fundamental type of bonding in solids, besides covalent, ionic, and metallic bonding, raising the pertinent question as to whether there is a well-defined transition between metavalent and covalent bonds. Here, three different pseudo-binary lines, namely, GeTe1- x Sex , Sb2 Te3(1- x ) Se3 x , and Bi2-2 x Sb2 x Se3 , are studied, and a sudden change in several properties, including optical absorption ε2 (ω), optical dielectric constant ε∞ , Born effective charge Z*, electrical conductivity, as well as bond breaking behavior for a critical Se or Sb concentration, is evidenced. These findings provide a blueprint to experimentally explore the influence of metavalent bonding on attractive properties of phase-change materials and thermoelectrics. Particularly important is its impact on optical properties, which can be tailored by the amount of electrons shared between adjacent atoms. This correlation can be used to design optoelectronic materials and to explore systematic changes in chemical bonding with stoichiometry and atomic arrangement.

Abstract
Unusual force constants originating from the local charge distribution in crystalline GeTe and Sb2Te3 are observed by using the first-principles calculations. The calculated stretching force constants of the second nearest-neighbor Sb-Te and Ge-Te bonds are 0.372 and -0.085 eV/Å2, respectively, which are much lower than 1.933 eV/Å2 of the first nearest-neighbor bonds although their lengths are only 0.17 Å and 0.33 Å longer as compared to the corresponding first nearest-neighbor bonds. Moreover, the bending force constants of the first and second nearest-neighbor Ge-Ge and Sb-Sb bonds exhibit large negative values. Our first-principles molecular dynamic simulations also reveal the possible amorphization of Sb2Te3 through local distortions of the bonds with weak and strong force constants, while the crystalline structure remains by the X-ray diffraction simulation. By identifying the low or negative force constants, these weak atomic interactions are found to be responsible for triggering the collapse of the long-range order. This finding can be utilized to guide the design of functional components and devices based on phase change materials with lower energy consumption.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive materials offer a large variety of possibilities in fabrication of solid- state devices. Phase change materials (PCMs) undergo rapid and drastic changes of their optical properties upon switching from one crystallographic phase to another one. This peculiarity makes PCMs ideal candidates for a number of applications including sensors, active displays, photonic volatile and non-volatile memories for information storage and computer science and optoelectronic devices. This review analyzes different examples of PCMs, in particular germanium–antimonium tellurides and vanadium dioxide (VO2) and their applications in the above-mentioned fields, with a detailed discussion on potential, limitations and challenges.

Abstract
Tailoring the degree of disorder in chalcogenide phase-change materials (PCMs) plays an essential role in nonvolatile memory devices and neuro-inspired computing. Upon rapid crystallization from the amorphous phase, the flagship Ge-Sb-Te PCMs form metastable rocksalt-like structures with an unconventionally high concentration of vacancies, which results in disordered crystals exhibiting Anderson-insulating transport behavior. Here, ab initio simulations and transport experiments are combined to extend these concepts to the parent compound of Ge-Sb-Te alloys, viz., binary Sb2 Te3 , in the metastable rocksalt-type modification. Then a systematic computational screening over a wide range of homologous, binary and ternary chalcogenides, elucidating the critical factors that affect the stability of the rocksalt structure is carried out. The findings vastly expand the family of disorder-controlled main-group chalcogenides toward many more compositions with a tunable bandgap size for demanding phase-change applications, as well as a varying strength of spin-orbit interaction for the exploration of potential topological Anderson insulators.

Abstract
Metal oxide resistive switching memories have been a crucial component for the requirements of the Internet of Things, which demands ultra-low power and high-density devices with new computing principles, exploiting low cost green products and technologies. Most of the reported resistive switching devices use conventional methods (physical and chemical vapor deposition), which are quite expensive due to their up-scale production. Solution-processing methods have been improved, being now a reliable technology that offers many advantages for resistive random-access memory (RRAM) such as high versatility, large area uniformity, transparency, low-cost and a simple fabrication of two-terminal structures. Solution-based metal oxide RRAM devices are emergent and promising non-volatile memories for future electronics. In this review, a brief history of non-volatile memories is highlighted as well as the present status of solution-based metal oxide resistive random-access memory (S-RRAM). Then, a focus on describing the solution synthesis parameters of S-RRAMs which induce a massive influence in the overall performance of these devices is discussed. Next, a precise analysis is performed on the metal oxide thin film and electrode interface and the recent advances on S-RRAM that will allow their large-area manufacturing. Finally, the figures of merit and the main challenges in S-RRAMs are discussed and future trends are proposed.

Abstract
The luminescence of dielectric phase transition materials is one important property for technological applications, such as low-energy electron excitation. The combination of dielectric phase transitions and luminescence within organic–inorganic hybrids would lead to a new type of luminescent dielectric phase transition multifunctional material. Here, we report two novel A2BX4 organic–inorganic hybrid complexes [Me3NVinyl]2[MnCl4] 1 and [Me3NVinyl]2[MnBr4] 2, ([Me3NVinyl] = trimethylvinyl ammonium cation). The complexes 1 and 2 were found to undergo continuous reversible phase transitions as well as switch dielectric phase transitions. Strikingly, intensive red luminescence and green luminescence were obtained under UV excitation respectively to reveal potential application of the two complexes in multi-functional materials along with dielectric switches and so on. The luminescence of dielectric phase transition materials is one important property for technological applications, such as low-energy electron excitation.![]()

NANOMATERIALS 2020; 11:nano11010020.

Abstract
Superlattice-like (SLL) phase-change film is considered to be a promising phase-change material because it provides more controllabilities for the optimization of multiple performances of phase-change films. However, the mechanism by which SLL structure affects the properties of phase-change films is not well-understood. Here, four SLL phase-change films [Ge8Sb92(15 nm)/Ge (x nm)]3 with different x are fabricated. Their behaviors of crystallization are investigated by measuring sheet resistance and coherent phonon spectroscopy, which show that the crystallization temperature (TC) of these films increases anomalously with x, rather than decreases as the interfacial effects model predicted. A new stress effect is proposed to explain the anomalous increase in TC with x. Raman spectroscopy reveals that Raman shifts of all phonon modes in SLL films deviate from their respective standard Raman shifts in stress-free crystalline films, confirming the presence of stress in SLL films. It is also shown that tensile and compressive stresses exist in Ge and Ge8Sb92 layers, respectively, which agrees with the lattice mismatch between the Ge and Ge8Sb92 constituent layers. It is also found that the stress reduces with increasing x. Such a thickness dependence of stress can be used to explain the increase in crystallization temperature of four SLL films with x according to stress-enhanced crystallization. Our results reveal a new mechanism to affect the crystallization behaviors of SLL phase-change films besides interfacial effect. Stress and interfacial effects actually coexist and compete in SLL films, which can be used to explain the reported anomalous change in crystallization temperature with the film thickness and cycle number of periods in SLL phase-change films.

Abstract
The origin of glass formation is one of the most fundamental issues in glass science. The glass-forming ability (GFA) of multicomponent systems, such as metallic glasses and phase-change materials, can be enormously changed by slight modifications of the constituted elements and compositions. However, its physical origin remains mostly unknown. Here, by molecular dynamics simulations, we study three model metallic systems with distinct GFA. We find that they have a similar driving force of crystallization, but a different liquid-crystal interface tension, indicating that the latter dominates the GFA. Furthermore, we show that the interface tension is determined by nontrivial coupling between structural and compositional orderings and affects crystal growth. These facts indicate that the classical theories of crystallization need critical modifications by considering local ordering effects. Our findings provide fresh insight into the physical control of GFA of metallic alloys and the switching speed of phase-change materials without relying on experience.

Abstract
Interfacial Phase Change Memories (iPCMs) based on (GeTe)2/Sb2Te3 superlattices have been proposed as an alternative candidate to conventional PCMs for the realization of memory devices with superior switching properties. The switching mechanism was proposed to involve a crystalline-to-crystalline structural transition associated with a rearrangement of the stacking sequence of the GeTe bilayers. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations showed that such rearrangement could be achieved by means of a two-step process with an activation barrier for the flipping of Ge and Te atoms which is sensitive to the biaxial strain acting on GeTe bilayers. Within this picture, strain-engineering of GeTe bilayers in the GeTe-chalcogenide superlattice can be exploited to further improve the iPCM switching performance. In this work, we study GeTe-InSbTe superlattices with different compositions by means of DFT, aiming at exploiting the large mismatch (3.8%) in the in-plane lattice parameter between GeTe and In3SbTe2 to reduce the activation barrier for the switching with respect to the (GeTe)2-Sb2Te3 superlattice.

Abstract
Laser interaction with solids is routinely used for functionalizing materials' surfaces. In most cases, the generation of patterns/structures is the key feature to endow materials with specific properties like hardening, superhydrophobicity, plasmonic color-enhancement, or dedicated functions like anti-counterfeiting tags. A way to generate random patterns, by means of generation of wrinkles on surfaces resulting from laser melting of amorphous Ge-based chalcogenide thin films, is presented. These patterns, similar to fingerprints, are modulations of the surface height by a few tens of nanometers with a sub-micrometer periodicity. It is shown that the patterns' spatial frequency depends on the melted layer thickness, which can be tuned by varying the impinging laser fluence. The randomness of these patterns makes them an excellent candidate for the generation of physical unclonable function tags (PUF-tags) for anti-counterfeiting applications. Two specific ways are tested to identify the obtained PUF-tag: cross-correlation procedure or using a neural network. In both cases, it is demonstrated that the PUF-tag can be compared to a reference image (PUF-key) and identified with a high recognition ratio on most real application conditions. This paves the way to straightforward non-deterministic PUF-tag generation dedicated to small sensitive parts such as, for example, electronic devices/components, jewelry, or watchmak.

Abstract
We report a metal-organic material of the following formula [DabcoH22+]·CrCl3(H2O)3·2(Cl-) (DabcoH22+ = C6H14N22+, diprotonated 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octanium). This compound exhibits a dielectric anomaly, which is attributed to the rotatory fluctuation of the Dabco molecule. The complementary results of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, DSC, dielectric, NMR and Raman spectroscopy provide information about the general mechanisms of the phase transition, which results from the ordering of the DabcoH22+ molecules. The reversibility of dielectric switching with no observable attenuation of the dielectric signal during multiple cycling is observed. The dielectric switching characteristic of the crystal makes it an interesting material for potential application in smart devices.

Abstract
A unified picture of different application areas for incipient metals is presented. This unconventional material class includes several main-group chalcogenides, such as GeTe, PbTe, Sb2 Te3 , Bi2 Se3 , AgSbTe2 and Ge2 Sb2 Te5 . These compounds and related materials show a unique portfolio of physical properties. A novel map is discussed, which helps to explain these properties and separates the different fundamental bonding mechanisms (e.g., ionic, metallic, and covalent). The map also provides evidence for an unconventional, new bonding mechanism, coined metavalent bonding (MVB). Incipient metals, employing this bonding mechanism, also show a special bond breaking mechanism. MVB differs considerably from resonant bonding encountered in benzene or graphite. The concept of MVB is employed to explain the unique properties of materials utilizing it. Then, the link is made from fundamental insights to application-relevant properties, crucial for the use of these materials as thermoelectrics, phase change materials, topological insulators or as active photonic components. The close relationship of the materials' properties and their application potential provides optimization schemes for different applications. Finally, evidence will be presented that for metavalently bonded materials interesting effects arise in reduced dimensions. In particular, the consequences for the crystallization kinetics of thin films and nanoparticles will be discussed in detail.

Abstract
Both ferroelectric and switchable dielectric behaviors are of great academic value and practical significance, but they usually exist alone. If combine the two properties into one compound, it will be more valuable in practical application. In this paper, quasi-spherical (2-bromoethyl) trimethylammonium cation was used to match with [CdBr4 ]2- anion, and a new organic-inorganic hybrid compound ([BrCH2 CH2 N(CH3 )3 ]+ 2 [CdBr4 ]2- , BETABCdBr) was obtained and carefully characterized. The results indicate that this compound undergoes two continuous reversible phase transition around 342 K and 390 K. It could respectively exhibit ferroelectric and switchable dielectric properties over different temperature range. This work may provide a new clue to explore new types of bifunctional phase transition smart materials to meet various application requirements.

Abstract
An unprecedented cascade annulation between alkynyl 1,2-diketones and indene-1,3-diones is achieved for the first time, leading to a series of propeller-like large conjugated compounds in ≤99% yield. The products show strong crystallization-induced emission, with the colors changing from green to red. The fluorescence of the dye can be switched on and off by external acid/alkali stimuli, which can be utilized to develop a practical technology for rewritable information storage and security ink.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid compounds that undergo reversible dielectric phase transitions are a very attractive class of smart materials due to their wide applications in data storage, data communication and signal sensing. Here, a piperidine ring, C5H11N, was introduced into the inorganic lead halide perovskite scaffold to obtain three hybrid perovskite compounds, [C5H12N]2PbCl4 (1), [C5H12N]2PbBr4 (2), and [C5H12N]PbI3 (3). When compound 2 and compound 3 feature static two-dimensional (2D) and one-dimensional (1D) perovskite structures, respectively, it is striking that compound 1 shows a reversible pentahedral to octahedral transformation. It undergoes an above-room-temperature dielectric phase transition at Tc≅ 352 K, wherein the high dielectric constant is more than twice the low dielectric constant. Structural analysis shows that 1 undergoes a phase transition from the space group Pnma at the low temperature phase (LTP) to C2/c at the high temperature phase (HTP). The phase transition originates from the order-disorder conversion of piperidinium cations. It is interesting to note that, the Pb2+ cations in the inorganic moieties change from five-coordinate at the LTP to six-coordinate at the HTP. The discovery of dielectric phase transition hybrid organic-inorganic lead halide perovskite materials further enhances the potential applications of high temperature responsive dielectric switchable materials.

Abstract
Light- or electromagnetic wave-responsive magnetism is an attractive issue in spin chemistry and optical materials science. Herein we show the magnetization reversal induced by visible-light pulsed laser and the ultrafast dynamic magnetooptical effect caused by terahertz (THz) pulsed laser irradiation onto chemically synthesized magnetic films based on gallium-titanium-cobalt-substituted ε-Fe2O3 (GTC-ε-Fe2O3) and ε-Fe2O3 nanoparticles. Visible-light pulsed laser irradiation switches the sign of the Faraday effect in GTC-ε-Fe2O3 films. On the other hand, irradiating the ε-Fe2O3 film with pulsed THz light induces an ultrafast Faraday rotation in an extremely short time of 400 fs. The time evolution dynamics of these ultrafast magnetooptical effects are theoretically demonstrated by stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert calculations of a nanoparticle model that considers all motions of the individual spins. These ε-iron oxide magnetic nanomaterials are expected to contribute to high-density magnetic memory media or high-speed operation circuit magnetic devices.

Abstract
We report on the fabrication of memory devices based on a nanoporous GeSbTe layer electrodeposited inbetween TiN and Ag electrodes. It is shown that devices can operate along two distinct electrical modes consisting of a volatile or a non-volatile resistance switching mode upon appropriate preconditioning procedures. Based on electrical measurements conducted in both switching modes and physical analysis performed on a device after electrical stress, resistance switching is attributed to the formation/dissolution of a conductive filament from the Ag electrode into the GST layer whereas the volatile/non-volatile resistance switching is attributed to the presence of an interface layer between the GST and the Ag top electrode. Due to their simple, low-cost and low-temperature fabrication procedure, these devices could be advantageously exploited in flexible electronic applications or embedded into the back-end of line CMOS technology.
