摘要：
The crystallization of amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) doped with nitrogen is studied with pulsed laser heating. The crystallization time of sputter-deposited films is increased by doping by as much as 100x for nitrogen concentrations of the order of 12 at. % in as-deposited amorphous films. Suppression of the formation of critical crystal nuclei is found to be responsible. The crystallization of melt-quenched amorphous material is also slowed by doping but less dramatically.
