Abstract
Tellurium-based alloys, which can undergo reversible amorphous-to-crystalline phase transitions, have been studied as potential reversible optical recording media candidates1. However, no Te-alloy has been reported to possess sufficient reversibility, data retention time, and adequate signal-to-noise ratio. Furthermore, the mechanisms responsible for reversibility failure are not understood or even identified.
