Abstract

Atomic configuration and connectivity of Sb₂Te₃ thin film are investigated using high-energy X-ray diffraction and reverse Monte Carlo simulation. Atomic model details of Sb₂Te₃ thin film are compared with liquid and amorphous Sb₂Te₃ reported in other article. Simulations show that both Sb-Sb and Te-Te homopolar bonds are present in the models. In phase transition process, atomic configuration of the sample rearranges gradually through the forming of Sb-Te bonds and the breaking of Sb-Sb and Te-Te bonds.
