| Abstract Scope |
Chalcogenide based phase change materials are important for creating novel optical and photonic devices, improving on current devices for future applications. Solution processing, via dip coating, spin coating, or drop-casting, is a low-cost, high-throughput alternative method of depositing thin films, which allows for greater composition diversity. In this work, we performed a detailed systematic study of the solution derived drop-casted film of Ge2Sb2Se4Te1 alloy in an ethylenediamine and ethanedithiol mixture. The composition, morphology and structural properties of the films were analyzed by employing scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Our findings provide insight into a potential route for scalable Ge2Sb2Se4Te1 films. |
