Abstract

In (GeTe)$_{100-x}$(Sb$_2$Te$_3$)$_{x}$(x=33.5, 50, 66.5, 80 at.%) thin films, the optical properties of amorphous and crystalline thin film, XRD were studied. Also, the application for the phase change optical recording materials with the high stability and rapid erasing ability were studied. In the (GeTe)$_{100-x}$(Sb$_2$Te$_{3}$)$_{x}$ the transmittance was decreased with the increase of x. In all thin films, the transmittance was decreased and the reflectance was increased by annealing and particularly, the reflectance before and after annealing showed the large reflectance ratio. The XRD pattern, it was confined that these change of optical properties was due to the crystallization of amorphous thin films. The reflectance change was investigated using isothermal annealing condition.ion.ion.
