In situ study of the crystallization in GeTe0.26 Se0.74 thick film by synchrotron X-ray diffraction

Résumé

Crystallization in unencapsulated GeTe0.26Se0.74 amorphous 3 m-thick films produced by thermal coevaporation technique was studied by in situ temperature-dependent synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction from room temperature up to 418 °C and back to 30 °C. The experimental results obtained with a continuous heating rate of 2 °C/min under a protective nitrogen atmosphere showed that the crystallization process took place in several steps i) total crystallization of the amorphous phase to an intermediate crystallized phase, (ii) total transformation of the intermediate phase to a second crystallized phase. The intermediate phase corresponds to a solid solution with a metastable -GeTelike rhombohedral polar structure (R3m) presenting a uniaxial negative thermal expansion along the caxis. The onset of crystallization to the polar structure is around 270 °C. The high-temperature phase 2 has a stable hexagonal structure with a P63mc space group. When cooling, until back to room temperature, the hexagonal structure is conserved. The effect of a changing heating rate from 2 to 0.1 °C/ min was also investigated. In this context, the crystallization scheme is modified.
