GeTe的异常温度诱导体积收缩

Anomalous temperature-induced volume contraction in GeTe

Tapan Chatterji, C. M. N. Kumar, Urszula D. Wdowik

摘要:

最近对相变材料GeTe、Ge $_2$ Sb $_2$ Te $_5$和相关化合物的兴趣激增促使我们比以前更详细地重新审视GeTe中的结构相变。本文用高分辨中子粉末衍射方法研究了GeTe的菱形到立方铁电相变。在309 ~ 973 K的宽温度范围内测定了结构参数的温度依赖性。我们的研究结果清楚地表明,在从菱方相到立方相的相变中,异常体积收缩为0.6%。为了更好地理解GeTe的相变和伴随的反常体积减小,我们基于密度泛函理论进行了声子计算。目前的调查结果也进行了讨论相对于获得的实验数据的GeTe单晶。

英文摘要:

The recent surge of interest in phase change materials GeTe, Ge$_2$Sb$_2$Te$_5$, and related compounds motivated us to revisit the structural phase transition in GeTe in more details than was done before. Rhombohedral-to-cubic ferroelectric phase transition in GeTe has been studied by high resolution neutron powder diffraction on a spallation neutron source. We determined the temperature dependence of the structural parameters in a wide temperature range extending from 309 to 973 K. Results of our studies clearly show an anomalous volume contraction of 0.6\% at the phase transition from the rhombohedral to cubic phase. In order to better understand the phase transition and the associated anomalous volume decrease in GeTe we have performed phonon calculations based on the density functional theory. Results of the present investigations are also discussed with respect to the experimental data obtained for single crystals of GeTe.
