Reduction in switching thresholds of chalcogenide films with polymeric coatings
Abstract
Polymeric coatings have been deposited on amorphous chalcogenide films used in laser writing. The coatings are shown to be consistently effective in reducing the power required for crystallization. They are less effective in reducing the amorphising energy. © 1974 American Institute of Physics.
