Abstract

Addition of In and Ag into eutectic Sb 70Te 30 fast-growth material was studied. We explored the optical transitions and crystallization kinetics of Sb 70Te 30 and Ag 3In 5Sb 60Te 32 recording films. The results showed that Ag 3In 5Sb 60Te 32 has a higher crystallization temperature but a similar melting point compared to Sb 70Te 30. In both the crystalline and amorphous states, addition of Ag and In increased the refractive index and decreased the extinction coefficient of Sb 70Te 30Ag 3In 5Sb 60Te 32 has better thermal stability and a lower crystallization speed than Sb 70Te 30film.
