Only the chemical state of Indium changes in Mn-doped In(3)Sb(1)Te(2) (Mn: 10 at.%) during multi-level resistance changes

We fabricated and characterized the material with Mn (10 at.%: atomic percent) doped In(3)Sb(1)Te(2) (MIST) using co-sputtering and synchrotron radiation, respectively. The MIST thin film showed phase-changes at 97 and 320°C, with sheet resistances of ~10 kΩ(sq) (amorphous), ~0.2 kΩ(sq) (first phase...

Sumario:We fabricated and characterized the material with Mn (10 at.%: atomic percent) doped In(3)Sb(1)Te(2) (MIST) using co-sputtering and synchrotron radiation, respectively. The MIST thin film showed phase-changes at 97 and 320°C, with sheet resistances of ~10 kΩ(sq) (amorphous), ~0.2 kΩ(sq) (first phase-change), and ~10 Ω(sq) (second phase-change). MIST did not exhibit any chemical separation or increased structural instability during either phase-change, as determined with high-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Chemical state changes were only depended for In without concomitant changes of Sb and Te. Apparently, doped Mn atoms can be induced with movement of only In atoms.
